Final fitment on the front brakes today. Happy with how they turned out. Organised for some bigger rear callipers to be sent to me in the coming weeks then will need to get some pads and discs for those too.

Looking forward to seeing how they both perform at the next HL session.

Hope everyone had a great xmas and new years break. The polo got/is getting a few new additions underway. Installed a Forge 007 DV yesterday, also got a set of rear 256mm rear callipers off a bora organised so they will get a flick of paint once I organise some discs and pads.

The main new addition though will be the MCA Blue coilovers I ordered. They should be ready in a couple weeks then they'll get bolted in. Very excited to have them underway. The new front/rear brakes combined with the MCA's should make it a much nicer car out on track, as well as hopefully a big improvement in daily drivability.

How much did the mca blues cost you?

This is they're website. Its still in progress and they have also just moved warehouses recently so they're still not 100% up and running as they were last year. Emailing them or you can message they're page on Facebook if you'd like info on something in particular.

G'day Louis, I'm doing a bit of catch up on your build.

Do you have stainless braided lines for the new setup?

No I don't mate. Standard lines were used, same as what Gav did I believe.

I'd recommend them if you intend doing track work.

I'll get Nat to bring u my spare Goodridge ones at the next HL. I'd like to see them go to someone that needs them. I'm assuming they'll fit.

Good decision on the MCA's.

Thanks mate appreciate that! I couldn't tell you if they will fit for sure or not either. We won't know until we try I guess.

Another successful morning yesterday. Brakes felt great, especially as the session went on where the old set up would normally start to fade a bit.

Next up will be the coilovers install this weekend. Cant wait to finally have some decent suspension in the car. If anyone is interested in the H&R springs I have in there currently they'll be available from next week onwards.

Heres a few pics from yesterday, thanks again to Ale Renda for the photos, they're great as always.

What do you want for them?
I want to do the mca coilovers like you but they will likely have to wait a little bit until our new house is finished.

Got the MCA's in this weekend. Knocked out most of the heavy lifting in a half day yesterday, then today just setting the heights all round and getting over a bump in the road along the way. Big thanks to Gav and Sean for the moral support/guidance where it was needed.

Off to get a wheel alignment this week sometime then play the waiting game for the next track day to feel the full effects of the changes.

Don't fuss about with measuring wheelarch heights - you NEED to use corner weight scales.

It makes a huge difference!
