ill agree on all those points you made but very soon i will be upgrading my
front suspension and brakes. brakes mainly 240k struts and will get a pair
of twin spot sumitomos from errol but there are also the 'other' people on
the roads that are wankers that require you to do some heavy braking. as i
found out yesturday when i nearly had a crash when some guy pulled out in
fornt of the car in front of me.
down gearing is a good way to slow ur car down too but at times with the
standard 1600 brakes aint quite enough.
