Just changed my front breaks, pads and disk's. Small run and now there smoking a little, this normal? Never done breaks before
Never mind lol. It's stopped and not on fire so all is well.

My new discs and pads. When bedding in you get smoke. Ds2500s even say they should be smoking after their bedding in process.

I figured as much, just at the time I was just a little worried, not done breaks before.

ECS Stage 1 Rear Big Brake Kit - Drilled and Grooved 306x22mm Rotors, with ds2500 pads and 2 brand new real calipers with the carriers painted red have been ordered. My 2Forge lightweight race wheels in 18x8 arrived today, just got to coat them in gtechniq c5 alloy wheel armour before putting on my ar1's and mounting them myself on the car.

Where did you get your rear painted calipers ?
 
Not mine but installed a dash cam into the missus X-Trail, front and rear cameras (quite easy once I sorted the cable routing)

Done at local garage using digital wheel alignment, only need 2 wheel alignment as the rears don’t adjust

The rear axle brackets can move though, they slide back for forth, so it’s adjustable even if it’s slightly? Whether it affects toe or not I’m not sure?
I will string the car (track it with string) when it’s done and check anyway!

Replaced all my coil packs for brand new OEM ones from justgermancarparts.co.uk

£99.96 for 4 inc post and packaging

I’ve also done the N249 delete to my car not because I wanted to because I had to, when trying to get the coils out one of the plastic pipes snapped so didn’t really have a choice

Car is running brilliantly however!

Haven't done much with the blue banger except upset people with 30k car's. My mate just got a golf MK4 1.9tdi so it may be time to get the cupra off the road for some much needed work if all works out.
