Pretty pleased I must say.
Had to change for a smaller master cylinder and the balance felt pretty dialed in. On the street I was able to get the rears close to locking by adjusting the balance, at the track I left the bias as is as I was happy to do some laps after 8 years.


Did have some piston knock-back, but later also discovered some play on a front wheelbearing so that might have been the cause. I have understood that it is a common issue with 2-piece rotors but I have to test again after the wheelbearing adjustment.

If anyone is interested in the kit, shoot me a message. Do need a minimum of 5 for reproduction.

Car looks great. What is that splitter made out of?
Do you just pop the whole thing off together with the half-bumper?

Hah, you did a good job making it look good…

How did you mount it?

I’m thinking of doing something similar.

Not in the best way to completely honest but it seems to be holding out so far.

Made custom mounts that get fixed at the place the factory strap-down eyes zit. And up front 4 rods to hold the front part up. But I'm scared to try and stand on it lol
