Glad you got them on and sorted nicely. Do make a nice little difference without the extra KG's. Which is the last thing I need 

[rich83]

Yeah... bit of a faff, but only because I was guessing. Once I knew what needed to be done to swap them over, it was a piece of piss really.

Not sure if I can tell a difference really, maybe feels a little less floaty when braking mid corner.

Glad the new brakes are an improvement. It's an upgrade that's cheaper and easier to do than the R32/S3 rear brakes. Your front brakes should make your front tyres suffer a fair bit. Making the rear tyres work a bit more can only be a good thing.

I realise today that I have had my car 6 years.

First picture I took of her.....



Just got her back from the bodyshop after having some damage repaired to the rear quarter above the fuel cap. Result. £120. The body shop near me in st albans wanted £450

5 months and no updates

New brakes coming soon. New AP 362 rotors and some pads of some description once I've worked out wtf I need. Original set have seen 2.5 years and a fair beating on the road so I'm happy with that.

On about 105,000 miles now.

[Tfsi_Mike]

What pads you been using with the 362's? Or have you been using the 340's?

[rich83]

AP 362mm. RS42 at the moment.

Blues must die!

[rich83]

Well.... apparently my brakes are not quite dead yet. This might explain the noise.



Pads... look like they are TTRS/DB9 pads that youve ground the inside edge out of. Does that look right to you @vRSAlex ?

Can't believe it is 6 years already Rich..what's been caught in the wheel

[rich83]

I think it was a stone that got stuck in between the caliper and wheel

[Shoduchi]

Ohh, not a nice sight to see... Hope it wasn't too deep.

[rich83]

Nah. Just the top coat off I think. The wheels need a refurb anyway.
