Nick Vaughn is a lifelong forge fan and fitted them to his 8L Track S3, he sort of regrets it lets say....Forge superb engineering for their mainstream products but pads and discs need to be expensive and last or cheap and disposable, soon as you start mixing up the sentences its either very good or very bad.
