Bad cop
sometimes the rears are over adjusted on the cables rather than setting/checking etc then adjusting them ie the handbrake levers on the calipers are not allowed to go fully back hence causing issues/running clearance...
i always found doing them once a year around march/april would be ok

Brakes all sorted. Beaniesport were brilliant as always. Nice to catch up with @MrWid
Calipers are pretty dirty, so that may well be my next decent size project after xmas.

Good to see you again ben... let me know next time you're heading there, i'm only round the corner. Fingers crossed the heater will be working next time we're there!

Great to see Ben, colour coded hoses look spot on!
Brembo HC (09890411) with the black coating if I'm not mistaken!? HC discs part number with no coating are 09890410 I'm pretty sure.
Woo 1k posts!

you wont see much of a difference Chris but it's the feeling inside of feeling more safe when braking hard...
Everything good Pav. Brembo HC discs with UV coating from Kamracing. Good idea to wrap the servo!
Yeah nice to catch up Andy. Was a bit nippy you’re right! McDonald’s hit the spot...
Will do mate. Early impressions are good but will need to let the brakes settle before I really get into them!
Itching to get the car out (it’s only been 4 days!)
Sadly just ticked her over, gave it a QD and put her away again. Hopefully Sunday will be dry and clear so I can go for a ride
Lots of ideas bouncing around my head for upgrades in the new year:
2nd set of dedicated track wheels.
Rear seat removal, ktec carpet and rear brace (clubsport look!).
Different Brake Pads.
And a few other bits....
Maintenance still remains paramount as I’m likely to be doing a good few track days. So budget on new bits will have to be balanced accordingly!
Roll on springtime

Definitely want something a bit lighter than a Renault wheel
You know what my thoughts are gonna be on those mate. Go for them
Let me know if you're still considering them when the time comes close as I can bring my set down for you to try on your car if you'd like.
