it might be worth putting some grease in the ball joints on the BSH links to be fair rich as it may have dried out a little

Could do... but if i'm gonna have to do it once, chances are i shall have to do it again. Not something I can live with TBH.

Creaking noise fixed. The ARB was binding in the bushes

So, took the entire bar off cleaned the bushes, re greased them and replaced the original OEM drop links.

Rattles and creaking gone....... For now!

Been out all day driving around the Yorkshire dales with my bro and a few other RS200 owners. Emptied a full tank of vpower in 230 miles.

It seems that I've cooked the high temp paint on my discs, because it's now al over my calipers!

Pics?

Rich I wish you could have some better luck with these bloody brakes.
Each time I read your updates, I remind myself to stop looking at S3 stoppers.

Of course! 21mpg average. Haha.

Overall I was well chuffed with how my car did, brakes were great and showed very little sign of fading although initial bite seemed to diminish during the day... Not bad for oem pads!

I'd like to try and improve the speed of the turn in, maybe achievable with some alignment tweaking.
