Some people swear discs on the back are overkill but I have to agree, mine is the same and I like it. If nothing else discs are nicer looking than drums 
Whens your finish date?, almost there........... |

Better heat dissapation and pedal feel, but rubbish for locking up when on the move without a hydraulic handbrake....

great news they finally arrived and i must say they were actualy not too bad . so tried fitting them and they all fitted not too bad atall
as i said they are great although a bit pricey . the finish was pretty good although not quite brilliant so just dropped them off to a little place to polish them up for me guy knows his stuff and recons theyll be done by tommorow. also going to see about the rocker covers getting polished. however really fancied a set of burton covers not entirely sure yet on which to do (what yous thoughts) |
