I didn't give you any extra Kosta. Paid my deposit and then £25 on the day.

@Gibbo , haven't looked at them yet. Will upload up them, regardless of whether they're any good or not haha

Awww, I got all excited when I saw the clip preview and thought it was tyre smoke!

Btw, @Frozennova, I saw your cheeky 1 wheel standing burnout in the lower car park. Very impressive :D

So I got around to having a look at the car. Guess the new brake combo was way more hardcore than I had anticipated.

IronX got it off the paint for the most part but the wheels are trash. Whoops, refurb next week I suppose. Lesson learnt, RC6 on cheap discs = gnarly.

I've been putting off getting the wheels refurbed for 2 years now so I'm not even mad about it, got no choice now. Finally I can say goodbye to the awful black on black look.

Hi there

Well I took the M3 to Curborough knowing there was not much life left in the Alcon disc and pads but I thought small circuit so no issue. Even in this state the stopping power is still unbelievable but saying that it is the only car that feels as powerful on stopping as my 911 did on ceramics, only difference being the M3 is very dusty but the low disc life could explain the increase in dust on front wheels in last few months:

Really impressed with how long these disc have lasted, goes to show Alcon are fantastic quality, no idea on price yet but I only need to buy outers from Alcon so should not be too severe.

But they have worn beautifully and even and have done a huge amount of track days, remember I purchased this brake kit as used from a CSL owner who'd done a few track days and road miles on them too. Very impressed!
