Uncertainty on if there is a correct fitment for my Gt senior caliper and the RS29's are track proven on this setup by Clubfoot @Bignod00

Also saves a few quid this time around, I want to have funds left to be able to track it

Dave says they are practically the same pad as the db9 and TTRS and even Mitsi Evo

So, an update!

She's off to Alex at AKS 2 May.

Gearbox strengthen and input shaft fix (or maybe buy a box off Alex already done)
Helix Twinplate clutch kit
Oil cooler kit
Gearbox oil change
Maybe renew track rod ends.

Im ordering some AP 362mm rotors, Paid yellows and a Tfsi cam roller follower conversion this week which I'll fit at home.

Going to order front hub/bearings to go with the new rotors too.

Looking forward to getting her on track this summer!

It's a bit of a pain finding the correct pad shape / fitment for my brembo gt seniors & rotor setup.  How much are they?
