well decided to get a nice accurate Rev counter
i will eventually get rid of the 205 in place of accurate gauges, so one by one they will go
what you think of this idea?

without spacers, 306 gti6 brakes( is what i run, with ds3000 pads) trust me, it's got awesome stopping power,

with spacers you could run wilwood, hispec, and 5100 ap's

but i'm happy with my brakes, though lighter one's would be nicer
