In hope its not the type where you smack the end with a hammer.

[m0rk]

12V wind up & BANG one

does the treat for shocks

 

[F2 Stu]

Good luck!!!!!

what parts are needed to fit 280mm brakes as i have the standed disks all round with ebc green stuff pads and their not great to say the least.

Is this to convert a 2l8v 256mm setup to 280 ? If so all that is different is the carrier (dunno about hose length but EuroCarParts will help you there). The caliper and what not remains the same.

yeah i need more stoping power so a 280mm conversion seems the way to go!Where did you get your bits from?and what did it cost to do it,does it make a big difference? sorry for being a pain but iam on a tight buget cheers mate.

Budget on about 60-100 quid for some carriers as a lot of people want the 280 setup for their ibizas/golfs/watever.
The biggest key in the 280 setup for me was the ferrodo ds2500 pads... they are fantastic. They take the biggest shed load of abuse and still scream for more torture so do yourself a favour if your bothering to upgrade and get some decent pads
