Glad you got them on and sorted nicely. Do make a nice little difference without the extra KG's. Which is the last thing I need  :laugh:

Yeah... bit of a faff, but only because I was guessing. Once I knew what needed to be done to swap them over, it was a piece of piss really.

Not sure if I can tell a difference really, maybe feels a little less floaty when braking mid corner.

Glad the new brakes are an improvement. It's an upgrade that's cheaper and easier to do than the R32/S3 rear brakes. Your front brakes should make your front tyres suffer a fair bit. Making the rear tyres work a bit more can only be a good thing. :laugh:

Just got her back from the bodyshop after having some damage repaired to the rear quarter above the fuel cap. Result. £120. The body shop near me in st albans wanted £450

5 months and no updates

New brakes coming soon. New AP 362 rotors and some pads of some description once I've worked out wtf I need. Original set have seen 2.5 years and a fair beating on the road so I'm happy with that.

On about 105,000 miles now.

What pads you been using with the 362's? Or have you been using the 340's?

Well.... apparently my brakes are not quite dead yet. This might explain the noise.



Pads... look like they are TTRS/DB9 pads that youve ground the inside edge out of. Does that look right to you @vRSAlex ?

I think it was a stone that got stuck in between the caliper and wheel

Nah. Just the top coat off I think. The wheels need a refurb anyway.
