Dude I paid 1870 for 330mm groves disc all round 8 pot front 4pot rear and blue sticky stuff for my scooby direct from k sport mined ur pads are top spec

to be fair there not really a patch on the AP Racing calipers, I looked at the K sport a few year ago and they are not the same quality.

the pistons on the AP are massive compared to the K sport. yes there a 8 on the K sport and 6 on the AP but when you out the calipers side by side the AP are way bigger

I couldn't believe the size of them when I got them out of the box, they are mahoosive

They get the job done and its four working brakes are better than two lol just hope ur tyres can keep the traction other wise ull just lock up any way enjoy the fitting of the brakes and I was shocked how big the 330mm where u could have a good meal on them lol

That's gonna be one, even more impressive motor, by the time you've finished with it mate, only one problem with the calipers for me, I'm not so sure that blacks' the right colour!!!

Thanks Rick - not too concerned about the caliper colour mate as I am well into the stealth/Terminator theme, and the calipers can always be painted if needs be at a later date. I think I am going to get a set for the back as well just to balance it out properly....but don't tell the missus

You daft bugger! I was being a tad silly, seeing as the rest of the car is black!
No, the black calipers will look amazing on that beast of yours & I for one certainly wouldn't painting them a different colour.
Looking forward to seeing it again, especially after the 21st!

Rick

Anything with Cosworth written on it is worth the money in my opinion

Thanks bud. Have had a blobeye mate and whilst I loved it, even though it was only the WRX Prodrive, I absolutely love my Hawkeye.

That's a bit obvious by the way your throwing money at it left right and centre

When you getting all mapped up ??

All the upgrade parts are getting fitted on 15th, 16th & 17th Feb and then Bob Rawle remap Thursday 21st 09.00hrs

Still running the forged engine in at the minute - done 1,054 miles so far but just going to keep going until 15th on the running in oil. Can't wait

Been down your neck of the woods in the scoob loads the last 2 weeks with work - Stockton, North Ormesby, Thornaby and going to Peterlee Monday morning - jet setter or what?
