The best colour for the R27 is Nimbus IMO, shame you don't want silver again. The red looks well, just don't think RB suits the 197's having seen a few now.
As I understand it, with a super aggressive pad you're just going to hit ABS activation earlier? (Fully expect to be wrong!)
So in that case, I see your point.
OT but have you tried any coilovers yet?
TBf the 2500's are better balanced IMO. At Oulton there was a lad running the CL's, braking performance was no better than mine, just a lot noisier/dirtier.
Both race pads, just one's less compromised day to day.
Very good ride, even Shelley noticed! Front end is a bit strange at the moment, running plenty of toe in (just as it ended up when they were put on) but that's being rectified today.
Tenants was like drinking pickled goldfish. Ta.
All the cooper s works I've driven have been averaging 24-25mpg. Certainly no worse than a FRS. The new turbo engine is better, but the chassis/steering is better on the 1st gen cars. Just bin the runflats on day one.
