Had my 335mm kit fitted today, along with braided hoses all round, Mintex pads and the calipers were stripped, cleaned and painted. Brilliant job done by Godspeed and the quality is excellent. Also the value for money is outstanding IMHO.

So far I've done 100 gentle miles then a number of "big" stops. All I can say is WOW! Even at this early stage in the bedding-in the performance is amazing. During the big stops the car was smooth, judder free and stopped like I have never experienced before - and in a straight line too!

Seriously looking forward to finishing off bedding them in and having some fun.

Oh and there should be a before and after pic in the members gallery in a few mins.

I'm awaiting delivery of mine, and can hardly wait.

Ian, any news yet?

if its not too rude... how much (all inclusive) did it set you back?

and i notice you retain the standard calipers... what happens if your standard calipers are not 4-pots?

does anyone know if these brakes stand up to much abuse on track, or are they more for "fast road"?

btw the pic of them looks great

thanks...

Price for everything, including fitting and caliper work, was £815 all-in.

From what I have read of others' experience, these are excellent on the track, as well as being great on the road too. Do a search in this forum for Godspeed and read other's reviews. That's what I did and I was convinced!

The wheels are 17" Oz Superleggeras with (dirty) Toyo Proxes. Great wheel - sooooooo light, and the anthracite colour hides the brake dust well :-)

My server at work will not let me into the Godspeed website (contents are classified as "Adult Entertainment" - they might have a point). What are their contact details please?

Happy to help:

Speak to Ian Godney. Better to email him though as he's usually a tad busy by the looks of things - godspeed@ukonline.co.uk

Milo, I currently have 2 pots on my MY97. I ordered Ian's 4 pot kit with the discs, I'll post some pics when they're fitted. If you search this BBS for GODSPEED, you'll find some posts of users that have made favourable comments as to their experience of this kit on track.

Wayland, it isn't Websense software is it. Our corporate servers use that, and I get the same. A quick email to them with the URL and a brief explanation of the contents of the site will usually get it reclassified.

Cube.
