smart them calipers.  forge really need to offer the calipers in some other colour choices other than black..

Thanks, yeah it really does seem dumb to only have one colour option however I suspect it probably saves them a few ££ (literally a few) which contributes to the fact the kit is (relatively) cheap. Considering most equivalent kits are £2k+.

think they did have the option for red as well but stopped doing it for some reason  :stupid:    Still wailting for my front forge brake kit to arrive :sad1:

Thanks mate, you to.

I was still there until about 6:30  :signLOL:

But after an hour and a half drive its safe to say my neck hurts  :laugh:

Pedal feel is a bit more bitey than the ttrs kit (although could be partly the new pads), but they really do stop hard, also feels a bit more balanced with the caddy rears but need to do some 120+ stopping to really tell on that one.
