It definately stands for something derogatory!

LFB, thanks for that. What offset are you? I didn't realise they did a rear too, but I think I would just uprate the discs and pads to balance it out.

Pm'd you back Mark

If the tarox fit under your wheels would be a great option.

Rays are always going to be nicer to run that Rota's

Thanks Budgie, will get in touch.

Jay / Jim, I do think the Rota is a good wheel, and has the added bonus they they don't cost a bomb when you bash one

Wasn't there a squirrel that ran out in front of me? Or maybe I was ill that day.

As I've always said to everybody, including this morning, that it was the anti-bumpsteer rear toe arms and steering rack spacers that made the world of difference to mine. It was suddenly much more stable and controllable. The Bilsteins (that I'd already had for a few months beforehand) were good, but coilovers only do so much.

I think you're wasting your time with BBKs (I would say wasting money, but you obvioulsy have an infinite supply). I can't imagine anybody who's driven round a track with the Dixcel setup is thinking "If only I had bigger brakes".

No he was just very quick, but "the sun shines on a dogs ass somedays" (White Men Can't Jump)

Agreed on the spacers etc, I have those lined up.

I take your point on the brakes, as I mentioned on the top line, i've seen the for / against for the subject but it's the way I will be going I may need them when I come to the "power" bit of the plan too.
