Hi Karl

I have all my running gear in order at home ready to put on so this time home I'll have them fitted and I'll be taking photos and updating my project thread. Everyone likes photos don't they..

Hi everybody, any news on the running gear front? Since this thread is along the lines of my own conundrum, I would like to add the following: I am trying to figure out what options I have to upgrade the brake system without converting to full S2 specs, since that would be impossibly expensive for me at the moment. One thing I am considering is upgrading the front brakes to Girling 60 calipers, but what would I need to mount them properly on the struts?

Increasing to any size above stock will require bigger wheels. 15" can take modified Corrado G60 brakes (280mm) but I found twin pot calipers still fouled my Ronal R8's so still running original single pot on series 3 struts. Anything bigger than 280mm and you'll need 16" wheels... Early Series 3 struts have the larger caliper mounts that the Twin pots will bolt straight onto....
