Will have to give that chavscum.co.uk site a look when I get more time - that pic looks quality... and I bet theres plenty more like that there!!!

Sweet wheels - how do those rubber bands affect the ride?

Here's his mate - Johnny f##k wit.

Oh, noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo - they really lower the tone of this marvellous thread  :wink:  :grin:

Actually, the ride is softer than my B6 S4, which ran on 40s/18s - but the DRC really stiffens it up in the twisties!  :smug:

Not really, though they do work "different" to iron discs.  When you first press the pedal, they initially work like conventional brakes, but after about ½ a second, you can actually feel the retardation increase without any further pedal pressure.

They are good though - I'm glad I went for them.  Still got a while to go before it is properly run in though, so the anchors havn't yet been used in "anger"  :wink:  :evil:

Sounds good, and no brake dust, that's a big plus.

Aye, the front wheels are still gleaming, whilst the rears are minging already  :cry:

The front discs have a minimum thickness of 37.5mm  :shocked:  :shocked:  :shocked:  :shocked:
