Brake filth (part deux) Fitted pics.

Well, after the farce with the custom APs I was on the hunt for new stoppers. I was either going for the VWR kit or the new AP 6pots off the Scirocco race cars (but in road spec)...
Then I got the curve ball of being offered JonnyC's wheels, so I looked at Alcons again and did some research. So, I could afford both and I've got exactly what I wanted. Turinis and sticky tyres and some serious stopping power.
Getting fitted on Friday, then they'll be bedded in on Sunday's Woodhead/Snake pass Curry Gumball.. so hopefully a final end to months of messing about and running around on knackered pads!
Got them from Regal, there was a bit of faffing around with getting them due to some delays over bells but they've kindly thrown in some rear braided hoses to sweeten it up... plus they were miles cheaper than any of the other suppliers.

hee hee.
They've got their first 'real' outing at Club GTi's track day at Curborough in April, so I'll give a full review then.
Anything is going to feel better than my cooked crap at the minute, so I can't really give a good impression of their power straight away. But if someone on (good) 312mms want to do a brake test for stopping distance comparisons, that'd be cool, let me know.

Hmmm very very nice.
