View Full Version : Off to Simpsons in the morning!
Going to see Ant and the boys for my Ring/Spa upgrades :thumbs:
Tomorrow I'm getting Pagid RS29's front and rear, braided hoses and uprated fluid, also have the rear limiter kit put on with new OEM bushes and also having the geometry tweaked, can't wait! :supz:
Bloody early start though, need to be on the road by 6am, anyone that see's a shiney SG CSL give me a flash! Lol :thumbs:

Can I ask how much you're paying for the brake upgrade as I'm planning on getting the same done to mine pre Spa/Ring. Also, not sure I will go for the Pagids as I don't want squeal for normal road driving and considering I live in London I can't see myself being able to get them up to temperature with normal road driving.
Cheers guys, thankfully brett my trip to Murkett's won't be for a little while! :bigcry:
All their prices are on their website mate, I already have rear pads, I'm buying fronts with the above upgrades, with labour and the geometry I think it'll be £600+! :bigcry: Just hope it's worth it! ;)

Lets not turn this place into PGT where 50% talk about there wealth and the £2.5m watches they've brought, but it's ok because only 3 were ever made... and most have never seen a track in there life ;-)

I want squeal, I think it sounds more hardcore. How can I get that with Standard callipers? A Porsche pulled up beside me at the ferry terminal at ROT and I though, 'YES, that sounds mean!'
Well I got here pretty quickly, had a good run, sat outside waiting now! Lol
I'll have a little check on your car Nathan ;)

I'm home now Alex, gutted! :( Lol The guys did such a quick turnaround I got back over the bridge and battered it all the way home, god I love my CSL and WOW the brakes are now what they should have been from the factory! :smokin::smokin:
A tweak on Camber and Toe plus the rear limiter kit now makes the car feel like it's on rails, I don't ever want to sell this car! :bigcry: :thumbs: :thumbs:
Simpsons are wicked with some awesome cars and bits of kit in there, a great bunch to deal with and know what they are talking about, I'll be back there soon enough :hahaha: :supz:

on a serious note mole, good pads and good discs but just be careful on heavy braking tracks as cooling will be the issue especially if you are wearing Cups

Hi Dan. I think I did see you but you were busy talking to Julian. Ant was just finishing off a tubular manifold and exhaust system for one of my customers vintage race cars. I was chatting with Joe.;)
Glad you had a good experience at Simpson's. They do a good job.:thumbs:
