One of my mates came over with his new SLR to take the pics once i got them on and the car cleaned. Just a few pics for now (230ish took in total). Will post a few more once they have uploaded.
There was some good racing yesterday, i went down after picking my new wheels up and left halfway through the GT's in the afternoon when it started raining. My pics are below.

Check out the Gallery on the site for some pics of there work!!!
I haven't done a test, but seat of the pants is good enough for me and they stop a lot shorted than standard. The brake 'dive' has to be watched in certain situations, because the rear of the car now skips around and i have had to catch it a few times after it has swung out while braking hard...
These are the calipers in the kit im using.

And this is the kit, but im using DS2500 pads for now.

Regulations, same reasons they dont run 250bhp throttle bodied engines. Have you ever seen any of the Clio's 172/182 that run in the VLN series at the ring? They ALL run AP's race setup, different regulations = they fit them. Simple as that.
will be running 15's permantly once they arrive!! Had them on for a while with standard suspension and i really liked them, main difference was the lighter wheel though.
Agree with everything!!!!
I was never happy with the standard setup, pedal always felt soft (3 different companies bled the system to try and aleviate this) and even with 'performance' pads the braking performance left alot to be desired.
I fitted a Compbrake kit, of fmp's cup, onto my 182...
Compbrake kit is awesome. Had it on for around 2 weeks now, if you haven't tried it they are x1000 better than the standard cast crap calipers. I am using DS2500 pads in them, which i hated in the standard calipers (lots of issues, im not going there), but in the 4 pots they are hugely...
Does knowbody understand the idea of a test mule???????
Its not supposed to show exactly what the car will be like, but it will generally use the driveline (engine, gearbox, brakes etc), the idea is to disguise the finished production vehicle!!!!
