Makes sense I did look at the ds2500 rears on Godspeed but I think it would be pointless

I was tempted by them as well be I think they be over kill.

Hmmmm this is now considered a 'dangerous thread to read' by the misses lol Do they also do just replacement rotors for when they need changing?

You'll have to let us know how you get on with the fronts.

Yes they do replacement rotors I did ask the price but I can't remember the price.
They're by far the cheapest two piece set up so tell the wife to be you're saving money

 

[RDS]

yes they do and yes it is dangerous as i have mine sat in the checkout picking the courage up to spend the missus car fund!

do it, do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Seal_LCR]

do it, do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question is brakes or balls? I don't think she will let me have both when she can't have a new car!

 

[RDS]

buy now, worry later

 

[ReDBull]

My wife's give up she knows I'll still spend on my car. You must have enough car parts to build her a car!

 

[Seal_LCR]

Hahaha that is true!!

I also weighed the rotors and bell's

The rear disc

The worn EBC disc that was replaced

As its my birthday the old man had very kindly phoned me, asked what I wanted and ordered.......I couldn't quite blag the fronts so only the rears

Love those brakes. Might have to splash out on a set of 2 piece brakes up front. Amazed at the weight difference also. That's a decent amount of unsprung weight to lose. Guessing a new set of EBC discs would be a bit heavier, say maybe nearer to 9kg.

Out of interest did you weigh the rear discs which you took off? Any difference in weight compared to the godspeed rears?

 

[ReDBull]

Especially when I get the TDs fitted 4/5kg each side at the front.
I didn't weight the old discs as there wasn't much left of them.

Happy birthday mate!

I managed to get a power reading

 

[W11TTX]

You sure its not already gotta map on it? Mines stage one and I don't think its much more than that lol

 

[Seal_LCR]

That's good redbull I'm hoping mine will make that when I change the cm tip for Sfs one I'm waiting on.

Mine makes 234 standard map still

 

[ReDBull]

Thanks guys I think I'll get it mapped later in the year and then rebuild next year. What the hell.
I did a torque run on the way home.

I think I've got a problem somewhere or I'm hitting limp mod. When I did the power runs both times the TCS light came on and I've had a fault code for boost pressure upper limit exceeded and also a MAF code. So maybe the MAF is on the way out?

I've got John from Etyres coming tomorrow to fit my wheels!

 

[ReDBull]

Forge 5mm wheel spacers and black MKV golf (thanks Dave @ sere motors) wheel nut covers to also be fitted tomorrow with the wheels.

The pressure fault is what mine was getting, basically outflowing the capacity of the OE map
