Couple of photos; todays new addition

[oliver.james]

hai

Wilwood 4-pots went on today; just got back from a little drive to give them a bit of bedding in, so thought I'd take a couple of photos!

I opted for the Jam-Sport kit and upon first impressions I'm very impressed; the customer service from Jam-Sport was spot on too :approve:

And the kit, before it was fitted...

Wilwood midilite calipers;

Tasty looking brackets and braided hoses;

Ferodo DS2500 pads;

Brembo 295mm HC discs;

Well impressed tbh! :evil:

Some engine stuff coming next, either JMS manifold or ITB's; I'm not 100% decided which way I want to go as yet!

Bet it stops quicker than my grandad's heart after a lapdance at Spearmint Rhino. Looks mint too!

 

[broster@JAM-Sport]

Glad your happy with them, was always very impressed with how they performed on my car!

 

[scottiebhoy]

JMS Manifold all the way! Brakes look mint

 

[chrispy.clio]

They look very nice, the whole car looks very nice indeed.

Get some ITB's put on and you wont regret it

Very Happy! Money well spent in my option; in terms of performance vs costs, I think be hard pressed to find something better

Thanks for your help with the order; especially with regards to chasing and sorting the couriers

I'm swaying more to ITB's at the moment but we shall see; I'm going to speak to Mark at Jam-Sport about it in a bit more detail once my MOT's out the way next month

I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

They were £714 all in; calipers, brackets, discs, pads and lines

There's a choice of different pads offered too

The plan was to this year over the summer, but I never seemed to get around to it!

I'd like to get the things done ready for next year and then see how it fairs; it's probably the wrong way around to do it tbh!! lol!!

Guys, what is the difference between these and ktec's? I am intrigued by the disc size, can this kit be used with the OE 280mm discs? which is most recommended?

 

[david hodson]

Very nice
hope the brake dust off the DS2500 doesnt kill your wheels

 

[badgerbite]

ow sweet - me likey.

[jenic]

Nice! Sometimes wish I had gone for these myself

I'd go ITB though....

 

[oliver.james]

Thanks for the comments!

haha hopefully not; DS2500's shouldn't be a problem

I'd really recommend them, very happy :approve:

Yeah, there's something about ITB's...whenever I see them, I really want them! :evil:

Best car on here. Would swap mine for a silver 172 cup anyday

Minty! Still think it looks better on Turinis though

Halfords must pay well theses days?

Turinis look better but you can't argue with the prices of 15" tyres besides 2118's are only 1pt lesser

^ You cant, when i had a set of 2118's in 2005 (on my old Cup) i paid £30 a corner for GSD3's!

Only reason I sacked my turinis off for 2118's was tyre prices. The OP's choice of tyres is to be desired though

I liked the Turini's, but prefer the 2118's :rasp:

Halfords? lol!

 

[Slammed172]

Perfection. Love it mate.

lol at the moderation!

Not seen the ktec kit so cant comment, however these use a 295mm disc so can't be used with STD rotor, they also use a disc with a totally different offset so there is no need for a spacer, so you can't machine te bracket down either.

If you want more info on the kit pm me.

Also I am looking at doing a separate bell and rotor kit to suit this kit I. Te near future if people are interested.

Look really good behind 2118's, best wheel style for a cup IMO

I'd definitely be interest in a two piece disc when I need to replace

Yeah, really like how they look behind the 2118's too; worked out perfect size wise for under there

Mmm looks awesome! The Willwoods have a very understated look behind those 2118's - function over form - I like it

 

[DMS]

I really need to get me a set of these!

 

[Revels]

I really like your car. One of my faves on here!
