You didn't track it though you big jessie

Or maybe you did? Can't remember, but either way, have some free abuse

Stopping power on the OEM brakes is fine, the reason for upgrade was to prevent fade and potential cracking. These Dixcel things are great

Steve - I agree on the 2 pc discs, the difference is enough to warrant the cost for me, plus they are lighter and they might also look after the wheel bearings slightly better due to the temps as well

Sti - I was destroying a set of discs per track day until I went 2 pc, Spoon calipers FTW

MB - Go with some 10mm Spacers as AJ says, the difference they made to the grip was suprising as well.

I was joking with you, but the formula silver would still look better

I would do the Spoons, but I still like my wheels too much
I'd swap my prodrives for your CE28N's

If you're still looking for semi slicks, I was quoted £629.57 for a set of R888s (OEM sizes) fitted by elitedirect.com

Nice wheels, punch. Let me think! Are they in good condition? Will take a lot to sway me from mine though.

Loon, I got a full set of Yoko A048 ready to be fitted at the Ring in a week by Bookatrack That is a good price though... Yoko's are a bit more pricey so I hope they are good on the S! Certianly liked them on the Lotus.

I'm just weighing up a Mugen wheel and Works Bell boss (again) I find the wheel very slippy on track and I don't like wearing gloves...
