Ah the good old motto. If it breaks upgrade it. Think I erm have a broken spring mrs mctwist so therefore I need a set of coilovers. Yes I need a full set and no it can just be replaced and yes it is broken. Rust dies count as being broken doesn't it???

Do you think I have a good case?

When changing the suspension you will need a remap to set up the geometry properly

[g1983]

So today was the day. Here are some pictures of the old calipers, one is in better condition than the other, look close

The right hand caliper

The left hand caliper

[g1983]

Unfortunately the split pin broke (I assume) whilst I was attending the hospital. A rather noisy journey home and a strip down later, with some temporary improvisation and were done, till I order new pads (tonight, dont tell Louise )

[mctwistuk]

Good job mate. Looks much better.

But you know the motto

If it breaks upgrade it lol

Trying to keep cost down, wheels etc, till im back at work. But really would like to have it looking standard-ish, but having upgraded or new parts where required

[mctwistuk]

That is a good philosophy and I bet a lot of folk wish they did this.

[mctwistuk]

So true lol
