C pilliar and upper rear brace

Lower one is a AKS harness bar. I just cant afford harness atm.

And yeah its hurrenously stiff. Haha

C pillar one looks awesome, i may look in to buying one of them along with the upper brace.

Ahh, i looked at it and was like, surely massive overkill, but makes sense now :)
 
Update... Seem to be going backwards lol

Brakes are sorted and now seem spot on :)

Finish it off tomoz hopefully

Couple of questions to fire at you if I may. :help:

Glad to get the yellow stuff pads out? Any particular reason, I've been looking into them, would you advise against getting them. Any personal review?

Also, the new rotors you have. I see an EBC box below, are they EBC? If so what size are they?


Sorry for the questions, just interested in new brakes and want to make the right purchase :blink:

Edit: have just seen the size disc on your spec page. I wonder if they do them in 330mm. A phonecall I think.

Hi mucka

The yellow stuff werent very good tbh took a while to get up to temp and use only reason i fitted them was the price.

I had to replace the pads (which i brought, Cosworth track masters iirc supposed to out perform Ds2500)
When i stripped the brakes the rotors were cracked and i refused to fit a 200 pound set of pads to ruin so brought the ebc yellows from a mate at Graham Goode Racing cost 50quid in the end.

The rotors are custom made by Hispec (ebc box is just packaging)
They make replacement AP rotors in house for half the price of AP and AP dont stock my size rotor.

Think best kit for the leon brembos would be Bills bells and rotor kit with ds2500 pads?

Thanks for the info dude, yeah bills 330mm kit is what I'm going for. :) I wasn't sure whether to get the DS2500's or go for a different pad and see what it's like but looks like ill be going for the DS's.

You know what it's like so many options you're never quite sure which is the best.
