The order im doing it in is: Wheels,Brakes,bodywork then the Hybrid...

Your still estimating your power at 284bhp according to your sig so thats still a lot of power that your putting through the front wheels, all on standard brakes that were designed to go on a 156bhp car! Rather you than me is all im saying!

Your gunna struggle to get some decent calipers to fit behind those. If you make it go quicker its gotta be able to stop better, not just look nice as your hurtling down the road

Hahah says the one with a am04 on Stock cheap discs..:lol: Then you got your brembos....

Ive done some measuring and my sump would hit the bottom the drive before i got on and off it....
Even if i highed it...it would be pointless gettin these wheels...

you couldnt of died...you never drove it :lol:

What were you sat outside my house watching my car or summat?
I drove my car for around a week when i got it back from the turbo being done and then decided to lay off it at night due to the brakes not coping, i drove it to work everyday though :p
