I also want wavy discs.
I'd be interested to know how those brakes are! Not a bad price for them reallyAny idea what the weight difference is?
Not enough to care really. About 2kg per disc and whatever the caliper difference is. No doubt Mr Doe will be along shortly to tell us all how we don't need big brakes as he can lock his wheels up with gti brakes etc etc well I have news for you Ed.. if you keep locking your gti brakes that explains why you drive into the back of everyone!
Oh and c.a.r. has been in a mood with me since I decided to test his affection for a standard ride height MX5

Giving you +2 rep for that since I lold and I owe you one from facebook
RE: Stanced XUD estate - Ed Doe - 18-08-2012
hate you.
RE: Stanced XUD estate - cwspellowe - 23-08-2012
Ooh dropped off the first page, I think for the first time since this started? Guess you're not interested any more.
..for those that still are, a minor wee update for you.
First being the need for new brakes. Had a lot of judder for ages now so decided to investigate and found that the N/S front caliper was binding. This was after I bought new discs, so thought f*ck it i'll get them on anyway, just clean up the stuck slide pin. Nope, too seized, it bent trying to chisel it out.
This lead me to a dilemma. New GTI6 brakes at an overinflated price, or a
upgrade to 307XSI 302mm brakes?Yep, you guessed it. Replace and upgrade.

£55 delivered for the calipers, lines and bolts, £75 for new discs and pads and away we go. Everything fits beautifully and my god, they brake exceptionally well! Very easy to lock up especially with the ABS removed, but there's a lot more bite to them than the GTI6 ones and I prefer the way they work. Everyone can have an opinion on them but they stop the barge incredibly well and are, imo, well worth the money, especially as I got some good condition calipers for less than a set of GTI6 calipers.

Bit of a squeeze, massive offset does help though!

Still a teeny bit of air left in the lines but they're already beastly, love them!
Ooh and my new sticker arrived, managed to keep the windscreen dry just long enough to fit it. Reprahzenting y0!

Just need to tidy a few things up now, ready for Knockhill in September. Spoke to Neil Haddow at PFC, he was keen on me entering for the Meguiar's Top 15 so i've emailed him some pics and a full spec list. You never know, it might get some recognition this summer after all..
Fingers crossed eh?
RE: Stanced XUD estate - puglove - 23-08-2012
Front bumper took a bit of a hit already then?
And this does deserve a bit of recogniton this year, after you worked so hard to get it ready for fcs and then the little miss hap
RE: Stanced XUD estate - cwspellowe - 23-08-2012
Tiny hit? It got f*cking mullered in Glasgow and has been falling to bits ever since. Cable ties to the rescue!

again, I apologise for using this thread to contact you !
Im looking to get a fuel flap skinned in carbon fibre and heard you were pretty handy - if you are not too busy and might take on a commission, perhaps we could share emails and chat about it ?
RE: Stanced XUD estate - cwspellowe - 23-08-2012
Sorry bud, that ship sailed a long time ago. Moved house and no materials/space to do it any more...

ahh, shame .. missed the boat
not tempted ? how about if I got a group buy together and you could make a decent coin for doing a few - say 5 ? Might be worthwhile ... ;-)
RE: Stanced XUD estate - cwspellowe - 23-08-2012
Honestly mate, I have no space here to do it. The stuff gets everywhere. Plus I was doing it when I was unemployed, nowhere near enough time now.

Chris that's interesting that you rate the larger brakes! Sounds like a good upgrade if they didn't cost much more than a set of 6 callipers!
RE: Stanced XUD estate - Ed Doe - 24-08-2012
I think Gnrlee is pretty handy with CF.... I WANT a set of his CF masks so badly, but the pricetag is enough to make your eyes water!
RE: Stanced XUD estate - cwspellowe - 25-08-2012
Well, discs and pads are just about bedded in now and the stopping power is phenomenal! Really impressed with them and tbh haven't really noticed the weight difference under normal driving.
Went a bit sticker crazy too...
