1155's are the NUTS, squeel going backwards though which i only do when i loose it at "the ring"

low on fuel as i was in the white impreza, its a jap import with a mine ecu so V power only for that

also i dont leave much fuel in it as i dont use it every day so if its nicked there gonna have to visit a petrol station,,, which has cameras and APNR systems too

i recomend the 1155's, best brakes ive ever had !!!. no fade at the ring at all but will make the wheels dirty,,, my fronts are anthracite and the rears are white now pmsl


doji, every track day you will need new discs and pads or atleast checking before and after, no quibble warranty and cost of 7 quid,,,,, you CANT loose even if you change them 5 times a year,, which i aint might i add !!!
