I saw a post on Scoobynet where a white STi 8 had the new Prodrive spring kit fitted....looked like it was sitting at the height it was designed for....SMART
Midlife..
Small diversion re STi8...I was looking at one at SP's this week Black gold Mica. Stunning.....buy me..buy me it was saying apart from the really shi**y (and I mean shi**y) looking bonnet stripe in red. I thought who the **** will buy a car with that sort of thing stuck on the bonnet.
I told Ian who quietly advised me that it was a red line they use to tell customes which side of the car has been Scotchguarded.

As for brakes just the standard MY02 car..starting to realise that after decat, eibachs, Tek2 etc that I might need to stop as well as go
I thought I'd mail Jamie Whitworth about slowing down rather than speeding up ? So what stops your 300BHP monster ??

Steve and Faster
Stopping the damn thing was something I completely forgot about..bugger.
Thanks for the advice (Steve) about just doing the hoses, I've mailed JW racing to see if they have a cheap "godspeed" type equivalent (thanks Faster) !!

Faster, Steve, Abbey, Gussy
Still trying to sort what to do about slowing down better. Godspeed front brake conversion about 595 but JW do a "stoppers kit" at a couple of hundred and also an AVO front disk conversion about 50 quid cheaper than Godspeed. Stop laughing whoever bought Steve Sherwen's kit .......

Midlife, out of those suggestions you might as well get the godspeed clobber, people have complained about them on here before, but its usually because delivery delays and all that type of thing, don`t think i`ve seen any posts saying they were cr@p......quite the opposite
Or you could get a set of daddy 6-pots like Steve Em, but then steve has got a heavy right foot lol (he`s says in a 'not like me' tone
Does that make sense? i`m tired
