    Suspension fitting & geo

    My KWv3's arrive tomorrow, hopefully followed by the adjustable top mounts. Now I could fit them myself, but I'd have to head back to my folks place where all my kit is, plus I'm a bit lazy...

    So, I've fitted suspension numerous times over the years, and it's relatively simple IMHO, so I'd be right in saying that any half-decent garage could carry out the fitting wouldn't I?

    And then, when it comes to the geo, I have a client (well-backed independent service centre) with the latest digital alignment kit, so as long as I give them the settings I want, and check that their final print out matches, I'm onto a winner aren't I?

    Obviously going to Thorneys, etc would be ideal, but I just can't spare the time (Manchester based) though I could possible head to Demon Tweeks.

    Opinions welcome as usual! :thumbs:

              Yeah mate, got these Brembo's at the moment with CSL discs, though that may change...

                  Really good. I've had no fade whatsoever despite me being a bit digital with the braking application, especially on track days, and they're showing little wear.

                  Yeah, they were from Speed Religion. I approached them around Christmas asking if they'd develop a fitting kit if I gave them my car, and they did. Tried to get the rears on too, but didn't really get anywhere with that.

                  Unfortunately Ant's closed SR, but I can still get brackets via him :thumbs:

                  Fronts are 6-pot Brembo...



                  I'm assuming the backs are twin-pot...

                          looks like twin to me, being a fixed caliper and all.

                          If it was a floating caliper like the standard rear caliper it would be single piston, but as it is fixed it will have to be twin piston.

                          Im running 6 pots on rear:smokin:
