4 Wheel Alignment
My car seems to have developed a tendency to scrub out the inner 20mm of the front tyres. I have just replaced a set of tyres, the fronts were down to the canvas, which was rather alarming as the rest of the tyre was worn but generally fine. It’s pretty tricky to regularly monitor the tyre wear in...

Removed what i could see with many sponges, and the stuff kept re-appearing when driving, particularly when accelerating,... at one point it sounde...

Nige Dialynx fitted the callipers and had a braket fabricated for the caliper conversion. The discs are a Quattro GMBH RS6+ and i think are 365mm, The pads cover the complete section of the disc, so you dont get lips created on the disc with pad wear. I also have standard wheels. Not sure about adap...

I'm running Porsche 996 GT3 Cup 6 Pot Brembo callipers with RS6+ front discs, (cross drilled) and yellow pagid pads, which have worked very well indeed, loads of stoping power and plenty of peddle feel. Pagid do quite a few pad aoptions for these callipers which will suite pretty much any road or ra...

No i dont think that the system is pressurised, or at least it did not appear to be when i last bled my 6 pot brembo calipers on the front.
I'm presuming that if it is, taking the lid off the fluid reservoir would release the pressure.

When I had the car it was on long life oil servicing which i continued with for the first year, however this lead to the cam chain tensioners needing replacing along with my last cambelt change, which was quite a bit o...
