Next days job was to find some of our missing boost, and work out what the scraping from the front brakes was.
I'd already checked the brakes over when i had it jacked up for the boost pipes, and found nothing wrong, and assumed it was perhaps the new discs and pads bedding in. Being honest, once you have swapped a few sets of discs and pads it gets to be a fairly simple mundane task, and its not the sort of thing you can fuck up too easily. so i started looking at other possibilities which it could have been, and as it turns out, it was in fact the anti roll bar droplinks, a combination of the suspension diving under braking and the hubs possibly twisting ever so slightly on the bushes was allowing the top of the droplinks to come into contact with the lower end of the shocker. I just took off the complete link/bar assembly as a quick fix as i didnt have access to a welder at the time, i have a couple of other bits and pieces to weld up in the near future, so i'll just get all the welding bits sorted at the same time, they only need to be cut and have the balljoints turned 90 degrees, so its an easy enough job
