Hi all,
Cant make up my mind which way to go on the cossie....
Have got some stunning 18" comps and just bought 17" softspokes as I was worried about marking them on daily use ... and ruining the ride??
The softspokes wont go over my brakes![Sad](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
So.... 330 brakes and 18" comps, or softspokes and drilled/grooved?
Its a nice dilema to have dont get me wrong, but what would you do?
Its not going near a track so would just be pleasing to the eye!!
Will otherwise be selling brakes and comps
Huw

softspokes are too show and shine never rated them sell um lol comps look much harder plus never compromise on brakes ap,s are a good mod to make!

Tricky one this mate. Part of me is thinking its nice to be putting the car back to how it was with the softspokes, it did allways drive nicely on them. My last black Saph drove lovely on 215/50 17 tyres but the other part of me likes the idea of bringing the car back like before but better, big brakes and more up to date or in fashion 18"Comps. I dont know how a Saph drives on 18"s but I wouldn't think it,d be too bad if you're not on coilovers etc but if funds are tight put the softlines on and sell the comps and brakes, you should be quids in !

Cheers Lads,
Your right Gaz, there is alot of money in the brakes/comps..... but they would look good too!
Had a leak in the 4 pot which should be back this week, then it should be back on the road

I cant wait to see it mate !! All this talk of driving fast and big brakes is making me laugh though, knowing you the most important brake will be the hand brake when its sat in the garage ![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
