Loving those brakes bud  :drool:

Would you reckon the caddy rears would complement s3 fronts as I would get them refurbished at the same time as the front?

Cheers fella, visually they're no different but they bring more balance to the brake bias as they have the same piston as the R32/ S3 calipers just on a smaller disc, but because of that they're about 6kg lighter overall than the R32 kit (I've read). Is definitely a nice touch and they really don't cost much.

Cheers mate, I will have to keep my eye out for a set or see if my mate wants to do a swop as I  seen that the caddy guys put the mk5 gti on theirs

Took the car to the boosted UK meet at the Akeman inn Aylesbury, its every 3rd Sunday and a nice little meet, if you're local then should be one to consider as its growing every month.



 





Obligatory Shell shot  :rolleye:


Then went down to ASM Performance to check out the showroom





Both the Gallardos are twin turbo, the white one is 1750WHP :scared:, unsure of figures on the orange one.














Should have my Forge brakes review done in a couple of days

Yes mate it is an RS, it was my favourite but very closely followed by the white Lambo. It was like heaven in there

That has to be the quickest reply ever  :signLOL:

Yeah I highly recommend anybody popping in there if you're anywhere close and got some time, this is just the highlights. There's RS4's, S3's, R32's, Porsche turbo's and R8's everywhere  :drool:
