Cheers guys. I rate the AP coilies highly for the money. They don't come with adjustable damping so for what they are I think they are brilliant!

Not alot to update here, but I attended the Performance Ford Trackday on the 24th of November.

Fitted a rear strut brace for the day and stripped the back seats out, I need to gain any advantage possible with little power lol.



Bought some Ferodo DS2500's:



What an awesome set of pads!

Some shots from the day, mostly official photos I bought after:



































Car performed well all day. We've worked out I did about 85 laps or so on track, and enjoyed every second of it! Brakes are by far the best upgrade on the car, didn't fail on me once all day, no fade or anything and I was hard on the brakes every corner. Coilovers did well too. Just lacked power on the straights where I lost everything I'd kept up with through the twistier sections so that's an area that needs attention lol.

No real mishaps on the day, couple of sideways moments under heavy braking where I was still getting used to a stripped out back end, and a couple of twitchy sideways moments around Paddock Hill Bend where I was getting faster throughout the day but it's all good fun lol. Definetly recommend a trackday to anybody thinking about it.

Oh, and a shot of my tyres even after a 20 mile drive to my mates garage to get new tyres put on lol:
