No problem.

A provisional order has now been placed with the Italian supplier via S2K Club Italia, I'll keep you informed of any news as and when it happens.

Thanks Lee.

For us tyros
Bedding Steps:
Once the brake system has been tested and determined safe to operate the vehicle, follow these steps for bedding of all pad materials and rotors.
1. Begin with a series of 8-10 light stops from approximately 30 MPH down to 15 MPH allowing 20-30 seconds for cooling between each stop.

2. Progress to series of 8-10 moderate stops from around 45 MPH down to 30 MPH allowing the 20-30 second cool down period between each stop.

3. Proceed with a series of 8-10 hard stops from 55-65 MPH down to 25 MPH allowing 20-30 seconds of cool down time between each stop.

4. Drive at a moderate cruising speed, with the least amount of brake contact possible, until most of the heat has dissipated from the brakes. Avoid sitting stopped with the brake pedal depressed to hold the car in place during this time. Park the vehicle and allow the brakes to cool to ambient air temperature.

Notes:
During the bedding process, a more positive feel from the brakes should develop. This is an indication that the bed in process is working. If any level of brake fade is observed during the hard stops, it may be an indication that the brakes have been more than adequately heated. Begin cooling the brakes with light driving and without brake contact immediately.
From the Wilwood site here. Don't forget step 0, find a quiet straight bit of road!

Thanks to all who have already paid, most of you should have received an email to confirm that your payment has arrived.

I have placed the order officially today and am waiting on a reply.

I'll keep you all updated as and when.

PS The ferodos come with a leaflet in the box explaining how to bed them in, took me about half an hour or so when I did my fronts. I did around 30 stops from fairly high speed with half full pressure on the peddle.

They are fantastic pads and you will not be disappointed.
