Had to smash it a few good times with a hammer as they were on very very tight. And when the discs came out finally, sh*t loads of brake pad dust fell off from between the disc and where it sits against.Regards,faygun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know when the 6 spot brembos will be able to be sourced aftermarket and at what cost? I'll need rotors too. Before then I'll just get some braided hoses!.Any (slightly accurate) input appreciated, Thanks.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Your kidding me right?I've been around Wakefield Park for 35min sessions without a hint of fade.I did this multiple times in the same day too.

I will giive it a few hundred kms to bed in gently before giving it a real good hiding.. Brake feel is hugely better.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobramad Member 824 Member For: 18y 9m Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 25/10/05 12:15 PM Share Posted 25/10/05 12:15 PM Dude, My T isnt my toy car, that would be my '71 Capri with 400hp Windsor and 1035kg to shift. it runs a full Wilwood brake set-up and is driven way way harder than I suppose you would drive your T.. If I really want to play, I do, but with the correct Weapon.. T is just a nice daily driver, no more and no less.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
