    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce

    They looks the business, your front wheels will disappear under the car when you stamp on them

    Well, this is a progressive build after all, I mean it's not like I bought 5 sets of brakes before deciding on the Alcons!!

    Default House's ITB XE build and re-build

    Boom fitted





    They fit under the Cromodoras with space to spare but I've had to remove the wheel weights!!! Have to see how that feels.

    Feel pretty good on the pads Mintex F4R's that came with them.

    Wondering if I now need some stiffer front springs to counter the dive.

    Stiffen the Damping a touch as opposed to messing with the springs.

    you do need a bit of dive to load the tyres up to get better traction for slowing
