« on: September 25, 2011, 02:37:06 pm »

I went with the Denso IK24s Phil like I said yesterday. They do cooler grades as well and with Stage 2+ you might need a step cooler than the 24s.

Back brakes all done, discs and pads.

Fronts.....going to tackle again this weekend. Got a mechanic mate coming round to sort the discs out.

Might have to delay the detail for a week if that's ok.
