What was the brake issue at the training day? I'm thinking brembos aren't necessarily going to fix the problem.

What brake fluid?
What discs?
What pads?

DBA4000's with Ferrodo 2500's and fresh DOT 4 fluid in my old MY05 was plenty enough. DBA4000's with Pagid Blacks was nice overkill

Guess I'm just saying to check your current setup as it should be plenty for a couple of laps of RAC.

Thanks Mark, will see if Dave can do it today. If not I'll give you a buzz.

edit: Kato, running the DBA4000's + QFM A1RM's + Brembo Sport Evo 500++ fluid. Just not pulling up quick enough (even with early braking).

They won't fit that grandpa machine you chug around in, they are designed for a performance car.

Your just jealous Thuggy that everyone asks about my Lib.

As stated previously, my mates Sti Betty and Luxobarge have same terminal speed down RAC back straight.

Since I can't corner like a Betty with KW Variant 3 coilovers ...

Is the STi towing your car? And your car going "fast" in a straight line is all just momentum - like the boulder in Indiana Jones.
