im using EBC GreenStuff, hardly any brake dust compaired to standard pads (standards only other pads ive tried)
stop the car VERY well when warmed up, paired with BlackDiamond fast road drilled & Grovved disks
i removed back seats, rear door cards, spare wheel, toolkit, all plastics and carpet from the boot/back and mine was a good bit quicker at getting going, didnt feel much different when it was rolling (only louder lol) but nailing it out junctions etc there was a big difference.

recaros look nice!
am i able to send the inlet to you ben then have it sent back to me (At my cost obviously!) as ive got one of these engines coming my way in feburary.
