These easy to change? Looks a bit tight under the bonnet...

Bromley - in Caterham occasionally tho

Yeah - must admit I was smiling from ear to ear after my test drive. Cant wait to pick it up. 60 mile journey home - but might make it 85 using the back roads :) Checked the brakes, play in the suspension and all seemed fine. Gearbox seemed tight and there was no mention in the paperwork of...

From my experience DS2500 all the way. Had then on my Scooby and Cupra R and they were the best by far under Brembos. Tracked both cars and will be going on my Cup when required.
