Nice work Keith.

Question, did you notice any reduction in brake dusts with those EBC Green pads?

I hope it's cheap. In Holland the wheel costs ? 600,- and to install (by the dealer) another ? 500,- comes above, that's why I passed.
btw, nice looking rims...but i'm biased.
Keith and my are very cheep.
cos we both got them 2nd hand. about $1000 each

I have not used the Axxis but I think they have a better stopping power over ebc.
But ebc which I use has almost dust free.

The paddle shifters came with the steering wheel when i bought it second hand

Never used Axxis so can't give any commend, but EBC definitely a great stuff
