So ordered a set if DBA 4000 slotted rotors front and rear to be matched with a set if PMU HC800's.

Also ordered a set of Perrin 22mm adj swaybars front and rear with extra HD stout mounta for the rear. Wont be installing these until after my RAC day in afew weeks to see how much of difference they make.

The perrin endlinks that i installed awhile ago have developed a very loud clunck. I will have Stechs take a look at them and see what they think. Has anyone else had issues with poly endlinks making lots of noise? I have tried grease and tightening but the noise just comes back within afew KM's.

Finally got around to installing 1 of the 2 oil catch cans I need. Had to use E85 fuel line as that's all I could find that would fit the various size barbs in the silicone intake and crankcase splitter line which made for trying times, but manage to make it work. Kept it all nice and hidden but it isn't to hard to get too once it needs emptying. I also added my own baffle and filter into the can.

Also my DBA's showed up, but no pads so had to put that on hold until next weekend


Instead I spent all Saturday night pulling the motor out of this chariot.

Yeh had the pistons in as far as they could possibly go. Re-installed the standard brembo anti-squeal shims as i didnt get any pmu ones. I got the front pads in with both shims, just struggled with the rear and was only able to get 1 set of shims on. Ill have another go at getting these in again then. thanks.

Might get him to set it at 5.2k then. Will prob be abit much for the ku31's but should be spot on for the ad08's i have planned when my current tyres need replacing.

I only use the directional shim on mine hc+. Not good to stretch the piston too far imo. If they have the same function, no piont to ise them both, right?

Looks like ebc could solve ur problem ; )

Agree with Dave here, definitely use both metal shims and the pmu stick on shim.
It made mine less noisy when I put my metal shims back on with my HCs.

David - When I did my mine, I put my pmu anti squeal stick on shim onto the pad then the metal directional shims over it, then into the caliper. The pistons would be pressing on to the metal shim. From what you say there, should I have done it the other way round?

I think hes referring to when you compress the piston back towards the caliper, no idea why he thinks it'll cause damage as all you're doing is pushing brake fluid back

yeah... lol... rebuild your own calipers and then you just realise just what they do and how far they can push back...
