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...

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.
