FK's V H&R's FK's = Matalan H&R's = John Lewis

you're statement gets the thumbs up from me!!

hasn't been tested yet as the owner is a soft lad ;) his twin turbocharging it aswell now

yeah its just a slippping belt (the thing does have 450bhp) gearbox is £15K

thats the way they are mate

mk1 172 was they best one they made IMO

Bilstein if you're a track boy the H&R's have Biltsein mono tube inserts, the Billies are identical to look at but have different spring and damping rates (non adjust)

FK's aren't even of the same level as H&R's i've got FK's, but i'll be changing H&R's are setup perfectly, no need for adjustment (plus 90% of people won't know how to set up "damping adj coilovers" anyway)

isn't his number plate MAG 1C??? (or similar)

big stu and phil are top blokes

i dunno mate, give them a bell

yeah of course its my car (a few years ago) i'd get them rolled (demon tweeks)

mine are ET37

get the rear arches rolled?

different disc offset and centre bore

no i don't!! i charge £40 for springs and £50 for coilovers as they take longer

the std ones are brilliant, no need to "upgrade" them

keep it OFF, otherwise you'll die

long winded

oh btw "if" you go the route you're suggesting that you're going, make sure the caliper mountings are like this http://www.hispecmotorsport.co.uk/radial_billet.htm (radial mount, so you can have brackets made) and not like this (with built in mounts)...

depending on what material you make the caliper bracket from, a decent machine shop will charge "around" £150, depends on how long it takes

no, thats the good thing with 4pots, the pads are generic (mine are from a volvo 240, all hispec billet 4's are) AP have there own specific pad sizes, they'll fit on whatever car as long as it has AP calipers, and the pad is the correct size for that caliper

i'm starting to go blue in the face!!! this thread reminds me of my ex!!

if you can hang on til friday i'll do it all for you mate (and you know about my special rate especially for you sweetie pie ;)) i'll see if i can get the day off on wednesday

all 4pot calipers are pretty much the same, as are the discs example, i took 330mm discs off a fiat 360 and bolted them onto a M3 GTR on saturday due to a crack the only difference between the 2 is the caliper mounting brackets, and the alloy bells calipers are a "one size fits all" type...

its 10mm MDF covered in black carpet from halfords i used cardboard to make a template, bit of jigsaw action, bit of spray glue, go mad with the staple gun job done (if anyone wants a template in paper, i don't mind tracing round mine, you pay for paper and postage!)

owned! LOL

well our demo engine makes the same torque at 3500rpm as a std engine does at 5K (peaks at 170odd at aorund 5K) to answer your question, yes along those lines

45's will be ok, but you'll probably need 5mm spacers tim, stop being soft ;) (did you remove those tabs i told you about?)

on standard stuff they'll be fucked after 6 straight goes i would guess there's several ways to improve braking bigger discs - means a higher torque can be applied to the disc (kind've hard to explain in simple terms, a bit like a pivot point) different pad/disc materials higher caliper pad...
