I really like the Brembo LCF600 real good stuff, just imo of course.

 

[Fred@BTM]

you won't notice a difference, either

 

[magh]

cheers fred, think ill go for the ate plainly because of the colour for bleeding through, the car will be seeing several track sessions this year so might as well get the parts done right first time round.

Also fred im sure i read somewhere if your not careful when bleeding the system you can lock the abs unit up with air?

 

[Fred@BTM]

we use ATE blue on the race cars its fine

yes, DO NOT drain the system, just bleed through

 

[magh]

Thats fine ill be using my gunson ezee bleed kit anyhow,

fred could you do the mocal braided lines with ate fluid?

 

[Fred@BTM]

yup

 

[magh]

Brilliant, ill give you a call when im ready for them, would it be the same price as the offer you have on?

 

[Fred@BTM]

will be a little bit more

Ok ill ask you here.

Quick question im hoping youll be able to answer. Had some H&R camber bolts fitted today, setup is tomorrow.


Im not sure if this matters, but which side of the strut does the spacer block need to be? Facing the front of the car, or the rear. Or doesnt it make any difference? See pic below for what im trying to ask.

On that note, when I got the bolts, the spacer block and the other washer were the opposite way round to the one in the picture. Spacer block sits next to the adjuster and the washer next to the other end. Will that make any difference?

Cheers

 

[Fred@BTM]

the big spacer goes towards the back of the car

 

[Cliotoby]

Urgh. Mines facing to the front. Does that matter or can I still achieve correction. Mike@rentech told me it makes no difference. However, my spacer block and washer are at opposite ends to that in the photo. Am I going to have to take it out and swap the block and washer around?

this is how mine arrived, and im 99% sure this is the way they are on the car.

 

[Fred@BTM]

the bolts should ALWAYS face the back of the car

drivers side starting from the front of the car

bolt, small washer, strut, big spacer, nut

 

[Cliotoby]

s**te ok ill sort that out tomorrow then. Cheers.

Actually the bolt does face the rear, but the order is as follows, from looking at the drivers side, right to left.

Bolt, big spacer, strut, small washer, nut.

Still NEED to change it round or wont it make the slightest bit of difference?????

 

[Fred@BTM]

well if the big spacer is covering the "cam lobe" of the bolt then they won't do f**k all as camber bolts LOL

 

[Cliotoby]

Lol, yer thats why I was worried. Thanks for the info.
