New brakes
I recently purchased a set of the Powerstation Porsche 6 Pot/AP brake set up for a good price off ebay (these came off the old white Time attack car) and sent them off to Godspeed for a refurb and to have the seals replaced. I managed to get a set of brand new pads for a bargain price(£31) from the same seller. I also purchased a set of new discs from Ian whilst I was there.
As they were being refurbed I decided to change the colour and opted to go for the standard Brembo gold in order to match the rears. I wasn't sure about the colour once I'd left and was thinking about it whilst on the motorway on the way home but decided to stick with it and I'm glad I did. They look awesum
So I went from the standard Gold Brembos
to these monsters
I've only had the car a few weeks and had a nice surprise when I took the wheels off, It's had Tein Lowering springs fitted

Anything can be made to fit if you know the right people.
This is the 2nd set of these I've had off ebay. The first I had to sell in order to pay for the old cars engine rebuild, Simb2 has them on his car.
Everything is new apart from the brackets and calipers, with the calipers being refurbed, I managed to come in around £800 cheaper than buying a new set from powerstation.
Selling the old calipers for £300 means the switch over hasn't cost me alot.
This car is going to be a slow project, I've got a very long shopping list already!!
It's going to be brakes, wheels, suspension and gauges before any power mods are going to be looked at.

That's woeful! If Powerstation supply the kits then they should stock a range of pads for them.

Bolted straight on, All I had to remove was the dust shield which is common when fitting a big brake set up. 3 Bolts and it slipped off
