LY 200, Painted goodies

[N0ddie]

New front discs- Stick with standard unless your taking her on a few track days per year
New front pads- Stick with standard unless your taking her on a few track days per year
Brake fluid- Stick with standard unless your taking her on a few track days per year

Thats what I'd do if you plan on just some fast road driving. Standards are really up to the job.

thought so just seeing what people came up with really

 

[smoggy mark]

Try some new AD08 R's thats what im doing,would stick with standard discs but maybe stick some DS2500 pads on.

 

[jimpy9]

Right time for a update
Got some tyres, orderd some Yokohama AD08s. I went for these as what most people recomended with grip and how long they last. My contis that are on now i think the fronts are the origanals so they havnt done to bad after 25k.
Also got some Ferodo DS2500 front pads for when i do my front pads,
Got tyres and pads deliverd for £600 quiet pleased with that.




Hopfully these will also give me back some grip
