I had this brake kit fit a week last Saturday. I haven't really had chance to test them yet, but am going to Croft on the 7th so I'll test them out there. Here is a couple of pics taken at AKS after fitting.

Croft went really well, brakes performed amazingly over the standard 345mm brakes, no brake fade at all in the 20min or so I was stopping out for.
I'll be going again when the weather gets better about April time, hopefully by then I'll have a Wavetrac LSD and light weight wheels with track tryes.

Believe those went last year, but give him a tinker and i'm sure he can cater for your requirements.

Just an update on my set of this kit.

Works fantastic in every day use and so far the only brakesetup that haven't shown any weakness during trackdays.
I'm extremely pleased with this and so far haven't found anything i want to replace it with  :happy2:

Will have an update on this awesome kit soon.

Have been away a lot with work but planning on fitting some pagid blue pads now Alex has tried them in the AKS Vrs.

Then after the family holiday a test at Bedford or Donnington  :driver:

You fancy fitting them on the wrong Red Cupra? :P

They do look like beasts though!
