Well just off now to collect the Chimaera with the WMS Brake Up Grade fitted. So a few miles of bedding in to do.

Went for the 283 kit and it looks great sitting beside the car, before it was fitted.

Will post over the next few weeks and months how it feels and the difference it makes to the car on road and track.

To Keri all I can say as a customer is how understanding he is, it took a while of deciding just what to do and what to put on, but we got there.

The WMS Brakes look the business and I am sure will be the business on the Chimaera. I can as being a paying customer say, great service by WMS. I would recommend Keri to anyone to discuss what they want with him.

As for the improvement levels, well that will be over the next few posts, can't judge till I've driven her.

A lot less 2Kgs off each side, so a 4Kgs saving, was planning a good run on Sunday with a couple off laps on track,

Ok 1 week on the best weather we have had in years and brakes now fully bedded in.

Pedal feel gets better as the brakes warm up. On cold there is no difference to normal set up, once the heat comes in they bite firmer more feel and the do reduce braking points

On fast road spirited driving well even more impressive full feel of the car is more confident would say very spirited driving reduction by almost a 3rd on braking points. Stopping distance is greatly reduced.
Balance front to back unchanged, well not felt the back want to do anything strange.

Need to get her on track now to see the difference there.

Am I happy, Very HAPPY

Next feedback will be on track report but the WMS brakes are very good.

Ok been on track did a few laps so not a full report on what really possible.

Really really impressive braking, far more speed into the braking points with confidence that she will slow for the corners, braking points greatly reduced, pedal feel excellent, no fading but not on that long either.

Balance is perfect too, now just only one fault, its not the brakes, its me. I need to do a full day on track LOL not just a 15 minute tester LOL.

WMS brakes rock

One very happy customer

Thanks Keri, great product
