Love the stance of your car, sits perfectly. Do you find it handles a little better?

Handles very well!! Little firmer ride than stock, less body roll, definately confident in how it handles now!!

Cheers for the comments  :happy2:

been a while since i updated this and have changed a few things so thought id fire some pics up.

first big change is the brakes, since going stage 2 i found the standard brakes were ok if you didnt get yourself in trouble but i wanted more so i settled on the nqsbbk kit and started collecting bits. i bought some boxster 986 calipers off ebay, ground down the pad pegs and refurbed them in red with new stickers, got a fitting kit off daveb and put them on with grooved mtec discs and mintex m1144 pads which are bedding in nicely!







there pretty snug behind the standard pescara but with a 5mm spacer alls good!!



first impressions are awesome, my standard brakes were hardly dead but these are brilliant, perfect bite and pedal feel and not even bedded in yet, plus they look awesome in the sun. i also treat the rear to the same discs and mintex m1144 pads while i was at it  :happy2:

on the look out for new wheels for summer at the mo and quite liking these



8.5" et 45 fronts and 9.5" et43 rears  :party:

That's a high quality finish on those calipers Dan.

may I ask what the brakes cost all together, there's only a few guys that fancy refurbing their own calipers, it's not hard and good results are achievable

Cheers Dave, not only for the fitting kit but for bringing the knowledge to the forum!

I'll split it down for you all:
£200 for 986 calipers
£250 fitting kit from Dave
£80 for Mintex m1144 (Porsche calipers)
£4 eBay Porsche stickers (6of)
A tin of paint and some patience  :happy2:

Now I could of left it at that but wanted fresh clean discs (didn't need new discs)
£189 for front and back grooved Mtec disks with included Mintex pads ( front and back pads)

 obviously I'm only using the rear pads as the front pads included are for the ed30 calipers.

Thanks for all the comments guys!

Great Stoppers Dan  :drool: :drool: :drool:

I really can't imagine how people put up with the standard Gti system…Esp when they go stg1 or even higher  :scared:

I keep thinking about changing my brakes again. Don't get me wrong I love my S3 brakes all round, and they perform great, but they weigh a metric tonne.  :surprised:
