Well I've picked her up.... :)

[Steve B]

Drove the 45 miles home in the pouring rain

So far I've found 2 things out...

1. The traction control works fine

2. The brakes are shockingly bad in std trim (not for long tho as a BBK has been ordered)


Other than that what an absolutly superb car :smokin:



Now wheres that big brake kit I had on my old Focus RS lol

Hello Steve B

BBK's are a bit of an expense on top of buying the CSL, a quick fix I've found (till funds permit) is to fit Pagid RS29 Brake Pad's all round, makes a considerable difference to the stopping capabilities over standard.

K-Sport 8 pot 356mm kit £999 plus pads (I ran on EBC Bluestuff).... I had them on my 420bhp Focus RS and they were excellent, even punished them at the Ring and they gave me no problems.

Welcome

The brake upgrade is worth while.

You should have bought mine , (we exchanged a few emails regarding my CSL)

If youre attending a few track days, a pad upgraded isn't going to cut. BBK required

There's a few second hand AP's floating about at the moment, might be worth a look

Good luck

[Steve B]

Yours was at the top of my list, due to the brakes primerially

Go for AP'S! :thumbs:

[Steve B]

Well fitted the brakes and wow what a difference they have made and that's whilst I'm still in the bedding in process...

Would have loved APs but having had K-Sport 8pot 356mm kit on my last car (420bhp Ford Focus RS) and they were superb I went with them again as the CSL is slightly lighter than the RS I can't see there being an issue..
