Messed up?? Shame to break

[AndySAXOp]

Was told them 266 hi spec brakes are too small and over heated the pads easy, shame to see it broken up!

[Jimmy-Boy]

yeah not 100% on the cause yet, getting them sent off in the new year.. brake discs were rubbing on calliper and pads over heating wasn't a good combo! was a mix of lots of niggles and being christmas quite a lot of people seem to be wanting parts ready for summer and have already sold most of the 'Main' items at a reasonable price so was a no brainer

[AndySAXOp]

Yer I spoken to a few lads hill climbing and circiut all said the same about the hi spec 266 setup, which was the pad contact too small which causes them to over heat ect. The 283 setup better as lot more pads contact ect.

Fair eunf, still a shame as I and a feew others are planning a track day to get a many lads from here on a track day.

Love the car though looks ace all white

[deanbradley]

[Jimmy-Boy]
