Very nice mate.

DS2500's are decent, take a little longer than oem to warm up but great when they do.

So how was the "next" day delivery? lol. The DS2500 are good pads I found Bill @ B5 was the cheapest. Cars coming along nicely.

just been lookin through this thread really luving the car.. can you tell me which bolts you used need to do this on my lcr

thanks
matt

Once again iv been working on the engine bay. Decided to replace some of the bolts with countersunk ones and washers (which are way overpriced but worth it)
Managed to snap one of the bolts as well, so will need to drill it out at some point

Discs, pads and fluid change were done today, I have been taking it nice and steady so far to bed them in a bit, probably do this for another few days then I will see if its money well spent :D Happy on how they look though.

As much as I love your LCR wheels Tom I couldn't have 2 sets of them, would be too weird :blink:
