First time I've locked up with 2l brakes was weekend just gone, me and 4 mates all ended up mm's from each other, including LiL_AnGeL from here.
Unlucky Flip, hopefully your suspension isn't fucked. Can't believe you managed to smash 2 wheels though

Are we talking about the wheels?
I'm pretty certain that Compomotive ONLY make the ones you have for Vauxhall fitment now, it's the flat face ones they don't.

I dealt with Compomotive directly when I got mine. They told me 100% they do not make the flat ones in ET49 in any of the widths in a 15" size.
The flat ones they make for ET45, but ET49, it's only the curved ones.
Ring Compomotive up.

I paid £617 for 4, with decent tyres, so the wheels on their own shouldn't be too bad.

Thought Compomotives were supposed to be tough fuckers? As in a Rally car crashing through rally stages at about 80mph, not a corsa bumping a curb at 10mph.
