True - these things are never straightforward and £2K is a hellish amount to spend!! What size are your rims?

18" and deep dish, but too deep dish for bigger brakes to sit behind...or if they do fit, my god it will be tight!

:D I see!!!

I suppose you could use spacers but it would not be my choice!

Might be worth looking into the profile of the callipers you have compared to the Brembos and see what your options are. i am sure it is possible somehow!!! :D

Does anybody knows what the right settings in terms of damping for B16s are? I am running with 4 on all wheels, is this correct? Should it be different front vs. rear for track-day / normal use?Cheers,

Having drove this car I found it very compliant. Far superior to the crashy OEM set up, but can fully empathise with the comments about corrosion on British roads. I tested this car on an industrial estate in Newport and the roads were terrible. I was amazed at how much these ironed out some of the rough stuff, and made me quite gutted I'd spent over a grand on a Milltek instead of on some of these!
