Some even think it's about the "VTEC, YO!" eh Stig!

And even more surprising, no-one has questioned why you are fitting the VXR brakes and not APs...! I didn't think the stock VXR brakes were too shabby when I took my test drive in a silver 05 plate 5.7 VXR, but then the dealer was in the passenger seat, it was wet, and I didn't want to look like an eejit. Some days I think the stock stoppers on my V70R are great, and other days I think someone's sneaked a lump of wood under the pedal. I have 2-piece slotted 330mm rotors and some Porsche 993TT Brembo stoppers sitting on my shelf waiting some free time... Where does it all go?

the vxr brakes are a great bargain upgrade, next time though I might (if its kept) look at custom rotars and pistons and imagine it will still cost less than AP's

Let me just confirm that the VXR brakes are much better than the standard CV8 brakes. you notice one hell of a difference epically with the pads form the big fish. smile
