Tyres were over inflated hence centre band wear. The edges look like they've delaminated, how old are they?

Got some B12's to fit today myself. Good price, bought from venom motorsport by any chance?

Should have just got some coated discs from mtec. You could paint them but it will look gash!

Defo to low mate. Car is coming along nicely though. What tyres did you end up going for to replace the RS1's?

I can get hold of a nearly new set of B8 dampers from a MK6 GTI which fit the Skoda and couple them to my Eibach pro springs making a B12 kit if i'm not mistaken? Anyone used this kit from Bilstein? Bit of reading says they are firm but with comfortable damping. My 115k OE shocks are in...

If your coilovers are 'full' meaning spring around the strut on all 4 then get rid of the standard springs.

You can pick up a Mazda 6 MPS FOR £2-2.5K these days...260hp/260 ft-lb and AWD, also bose sound system, xenons etc. Owned one for 2 winters and it was great and never missed a beat.

No real problem using a 182 in the winter months as long as its got decent tyres. And for £2k you should get a decent example with belts recently done. Bit of an odd winter car choice IMO, especially with an S2K in the garage. I'd be looking at something AWD and comfortable with a bit of poke...

I had that on the way to work in my ST stuck in traffic on the m62, head tilted on the roof looking like a weirdo.

I found Pagid had better bite over Brembo. Even done a few track days with them. The Brembo's were hopeless and faded in less than a lap.

Just go with Pagid OE from Euro. Never had any issues with them on road or track for that matter and they are cheap. I've had 2 sets of Brembo HC discs warp now and the OE pads are pretty poor albeit last ages on the road.

£200 delivered max.

Correct on 5mm. They look good, go with them.

It's crazy that the UK doesn't have an expiry law regarding tyres. Think of a spare wheel on an older car that's never been used. That tyre can look in A1 condition but the construction of the tyre will have degraded over the years which could lead to failure once under load.

Yeah they'll be old those mate. Sure the trofeo r was there replacement which have been out a good few years now. Got a link to the AR1's as these will be fairly new?

Just ask for the DOT codes mate and if under 5 years old make him an offer.

Those pedals look great. I'd be left foot braking when dipping the clutch with my trotters! Pedals look great for heel and toeing though.

Just got the Samsung S8 on 02 upgrade with no upfront cost, 25GB data and unlimited minutes and text for £37 a month with mobiles.co.uk

I know, they sound great. I'l just have to use the DS2500's and nanny them.

Loads mate, just love the DS1.11 though.

Got a set of DS2500's in there now, but they wont be up to Oulton. Yeah the one that has badly crumbled will only get worse and ruin my discs in the process no doubt.

Haha you would say that with Oulton coming up, lol.

Has it been raining a lot and or the car stood for days at a time? As this can happen with a build up of surface rust. If not then you can check if a brake is binding by heat within the disc and calliper. There will be a noticeable difference in temp with a binding brake component. You can also...

Still nothing back from Kam racing's distributor on these, just been told from Kam that they are under staffed and cant tell me when they will be able to get anything back from them. I even said I will go direct to their distributor if it would speed things up but that offer was declined. Got...

Cheap for a reason mate. Buy cheap, buy twice. Stick with Lemforder IMO.

So irrelevant information!

OE parts tend to come from whoever put in lowest bid at the time of tender. The original supplier to Renault may not even make them anymore. Lemforder will be fine.

Mine used to play up when cold for the first 500m or so, reduced power then it would go back to normal. The issue was the pre cat lambda sensor. You can switch the pre and post to see if it is this at no cost. Also had vacume leaks which caused irratic idling were it would just rev up to 3-4k...

The M1155 are comparable to DS2500's. The F3 should be mega. More comparable to the likes of DS1.11 or DSUNO.
