Haha. It's an amazing kit.  Ticks all the boxes for me.  Over the moon with them.

Good stuff.

Just been having a read of your build thread... lots of nice work.

And I thought Alex was fed up with me pestering him...  :grin:

Well, my list of mods is a fraction of yours and will continue to stay that way after I get it back (for a while anyway!)

Really happy with my set too  :love:

Slightly different calipers on mine being the db9 Aston martins ones but such an awesome setup that inspires confidence

Just had them swapped onto my new S3 from the old GTI and feel even better, probably as it's dsg so getting extra braking as it drops down the gears  :notworthy:

I've spoken to Alex about if he will anymore of these kits...it a one off mate
Maybe if there where enough demand he might do it...
Best is to give him a call

Rumour has it he's got another pair of lightly used Brembo F40 calipers in for refurb at the moment to go on the AP Racing rotors used on the Seat SuperCopa Race car....

But hey what do I know...... :wink:

I'd be asking sooner rather than later and getting them painted a funky groovy colour

Supercopa rotor is CP4542-112/113 they're not available J hooked so I would guess they arent the ones....very similar though - they look like BTCC items at 366mmx35mm Supercopa are 362x32mm

So near as dammit!
