I never do track days just wanted someting that wouldn't warp or feel as crappy as they are nowCan anyone recommend someone near Newcastle Cheers Tim

11/03/08 06:13 AM11/03/08 06:13 AM #3 Author I haven't read anywhere about the deference between my stock 287mm front to the stock 330 fronts.Would it be worth me upgrading the fronts to 330 PBR or equivalent with the DBA 4000/5000 instead of the rotors on their own in the 287mm

They are the same as the BA FPV brakes and are very effective, I have this kit and love it, the pedal feel is worth it alone!
