Bit of an update, finally got all the bits together to fit the r8 brakes and ap racing discs with ferrodo ds2500 pads, picked up some H&R roll bars and was amazed and the handling improvements so stable and able to throw the car in the bends with confidence, brakes feel amazing, pedal feel better than standard and you really have loads of braking power which I haven't fully got used to as 3/4 seems plenty. Now to save for the rear brake upgrade, what options is anyone running of r32/s3 rears, is there a possibility to use Porsche rear calipers??

First off was to sort out the handling as the standard rollbars with everything else just wasn't working a slow speed the under steer was shockingly bad so got some H&R roll bars fitted and a handy map light console as I'd booked a driving Europe trip spotting at player classic and heading as far south as Croatia so didn't want the woman distracting me with the full interior lights at night. Pics will follow when I'm home from work

I'm the worst in the world at updating but he goes, I've always loved the BBS Lm and the first new alloys I ever purchased was reps back 5yrs ago as I could never afford genuine but a chance came up to purchase a set local with good specs which I had even spotted on the NI car 5-6 years previously

They had been reverse mount or face mounted and centers painted black then face polished 19x8.5 et 46ish currently

I had to do some polishing of my own as they were black around the bolt hole area and black centre caps, ordered up some new jap spec red caps and went about wet n dry followed by polishing the centres which came up really well
