Re: Ferodo DS2500 or DS3000
I have 3000's on the I.S and love em to bits, they stop the car spot on, and only ever locked em up once, when a swede in a 997 decided to brake half way round hatzenbach. With the low weight of the car and lack of power, thye dont get a massive amount of use on the ring, I think they only get stood...

Re: flywheel
The heavy flywheel is what kills the accelleration, almost the same weight and HP as many of its similar aged hot hatches, but over a second slower to 60, Lighter flywheel will improve that no end I've been told. Bought ones bolt straight on, modded 325's need some fettling I think, Personally as a ...
