Update 🤩👌🏼... Big brake kit is on... It's ap racing 5000r with btcc discs and btcc pads which are used on the race cars, it's absolutely insane and amazing....best brakes I've tried and owned. So much better feel than the yellow pads with bre,bo calipers... Verkline arms are on and camber and toe setup is -3.5 front and -2.8 back... Has some nice over steer but predictable and very fun to drive... Suspension is sublime especially when you are able to take it to soft on the road and it's plush, when it's stiffer for track use the turn in and handling are fantastic...
Bought some wheels and tyres which I will try and fit this weekend : rota in 8.5 with et44 and 18inch with 245 40 18 ad09 tyres.
Snetterton is booked for the 17th of March.

What made you go for 245 square over all the square and staggered tyre choices available? Also do they fit okay under the rears with 245 width? Without having to go down the pain of trimming the rear arches and welding them back together?

Coming along nicely :happy2:

How thick are the bells on the AP racing rotors to get the BBS wheels to clear the calipers?  I think AP normally add 15mm thickness on top of the stock disc's 7mm?  Good to see they fit!

Are the bronze rims Rota?  They look pretty good, but not a fan of bronze though.
