I've used those Brembo coated discs before and can confirm that the corrsion resistance is excellent, good choice.

Look forward to the fitted pics, should look good.

And fitted

Only driven home but they're superb brakes already. A much better pad feel and brake feel. Very impressed; they fit the wheels superbly too. Impressed already with the Pagid Street+ pads

Thanks; they're superb brakes... Got a few proper drives in today (thank goodness for decent all season tyres)

The brakes work very well indeed and they have superb bite from cold and are very smooth... They suit the car well

It's this time of year I regret putting AD09's on my toy, I'm dying to get it out but it's just too cold/greasy/icy. I need a second set of wheels!

Love the car by the way and the subtle but effective mods.

Agree; it's warmed up here, but still only 1.5ºC and there's still ice about etc... The roads are very greasy

A second set of wheels always come in very handy if you've space to store them etc

I'd highly recommend all seasons over winters for our UK winters; the Michelin CC2s on mine and the Goodyear Vector Gen3s on the touring have been superb in the very cold, snow etc

And yes; the mods I'm trying to keep OEM+

I've taken a sideways move re suspension now and may go for the Birds B1 kit after talking to my pals about getting the car set up right for 'fast road' and maybe an easy track day or 2

I'm going to do the arms/links/track rod ends first and get all that sorted, as that'll take the longest to do and then look at the shocks/springs etc

I also think I'd quite like a set of Bola FLE wheels, 18x8 offset 40 all round, running 235/40/18s on them would have the car sat very well, but also handle brilliantly and saves faffing with staggered wheels etc
