I really like how the steering wheel came out, looks really good.
Is it any thicker that the original? It looks like it.

And you have to give some progress reports of the brakes and pads, especially with the brake dust. I hate brake dust sooo much.

Some really cool mods there

will do mate no worries im not sure whether to put the brakes on befor the cruise or not?

You might be alright on a cruise as long as you resist the temptation to fang it!

well i ended up putting the fronts on saturday arvo befor the cruise
they were better than expected, i suppose not much difference from oem but i have to wait till they bed in
it says not until 600-700 km befor they properly wear in
they saved me last nyte coming from work though, about 10pm bit tired but still okay driving towards a round about
i looked right, nothing there
i looked in front of me and slammed on the brakes and turned to the left
i think i come with in an inch of an insurance job
and i only just renewed the insurance that day

mmmmm, colourfull! be sure to report how the set-up performs once bedded in steering wheel turned out a treat though it looks to clean! haha, i just peeled all my leather off you wouldnt even know its not suppose to be like it is! its going to be replaced anyways and personal opinion, our III's look phatter without the spoiler

[mk3pete]

i have to say i was a bit worried bout removing the spoiler but well worth it
i think it gives the car a neater look

Damn they look good on!

How much did you pay for the brake setup, could you do a quick price breakup for me? (pads and rotors). I have been looking at that RDA brakes place and that's the next mod on the books I think.

well this is only a rough guess as the lady didnt give me a receipt as she didnt charge me gst probably a tax write off
im not fussed about it
the green stuff front pads were around 150
front drilled and slotted rotors were 320 odd
rear pads were fairly cheap
all up i paid 500

and the QFM pads? were they just the $79 a pair as quoted on this site.

also, did you just get 2 rotors or a set of 4 for that price? EDIT: just read that you said front rotors....apologies
