Its no trailer queen. It gets thoroughly abused on the roads, by abused I mean going to do the shopping obviously

Anyway teeny weeny update. These beauties arrived today!

Ferodo DS2500's

Unfortunately the calipers they are to fit won't be with me for weeks yet, cos Rally Design are out of stock and they're awaiting a delivery from the good ol US of A

Its a cruel world we live in
My brakes arrived today and I was all excited, like a little kid
Then I measured the pistons in the calipers and they've sent the wrong ones

Powerflow 2.25" twinbox currently. Possibly soon to be single box, to allow more room for the diffuser.
