I admit I am not that technical though so may defer to others... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StuartFZR400 0 Posted May 15, 2009 try asking pianowire if those biggies fit within 16's - he def' has run 16's in his time. As for brands, try a search; people have different oppinions; I personally like Brembo discs, some dont. Most of us agree the VR discs seem to last. The vw pads are only ok. Personally I hate Pagid pads. Would be happy with greenstuff ebc; bearing in mind they dont last long, but hey, you want performance. Paint in B'ham - there must be loads. Sorry I cannot vouch for a good place in Brum. However I can tell you Ive had some shoddy jobs done in Coventry etc; paying low prices. Only when I took my car back tiem after time, one day - by sheer luck - they got it right, a deep glossy finish. Compared to a very expensive place on the outskirts of Coventry, where they do a showroom finish - they take of all mirrors, seals, etc, full proper job. Paints today are not solvent based and I understand they're harder to work. Get a good top laquer and you'll be ok. Possibly £1k for a blow over; 1.5k+ for a good job. I dont see why its so much, hence I shopped for cheap locally; you just might end up with a fight on yu hands; you'll be in a stronger position if you get a receipt, pay by card or cheque and dont dodge the vat.
