Only took a few photos today as I didn't want to get in Alex's way too much although I probably did anyway :signLOL:
I don't even need to say it but great work from AKS as usual, sorted out quite a few niggly problems and all is working well at the moment.
Catch can didn't fit due to the boost tap so just used the washer relocation kit to tidy the bay up and will be selling the actual catch can kit.
Caddy rear calipers on standard 282mm discs and EBC yellow stuff pads to match the fronts.
Couple of pics of it on the ramp
Will get some better photos tomorrow after I've given it a proper clean inside and out.

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.

Will do fella, give me a week or two to get some miles on them and really put them to work and I'll see how they compare :evilgrin:
First impressions are they have less pedal movement which makes it a bit harder to modulate your braking but with a bit more finesse they're fine, they definitely have more overall stopping power, they're a kg or two lighter per side and they have waaaaaaay more clearance than the TTRS kit.
