New brakes at Simpson Motorsport

**glendog74** · 18-11-2008, 01:34 AM

I had a full AP brake upgrade, adjustable top mounts and new bushes front and rear carried out by Simpson Motorsport today. Another top quality job by Anthony and Joe as i'm now accustomed to

Helpful and induvidual based advice and walkround the garage as before whilst also taking the time to show me how to adjust the top mounts - whilst i ask stupid questions!

Still love the E46 GT!

Supercharged CSL with +700bhp...!

Will stick a couple more pics up when i've cleaned the car!

Yeah, you could say that :eek: I needed new front disks as well as pads all round so was due a decent bill had i gone to BMW so thought i'd upgrade.

They did only charge me for 4 hours labour though when it actually took 6 and threw in a free towing eye for trackdays, so mustn't grumble i suppose!

Best thing I have done is have the BBK fitted. Stopping power is imense and the confidence it gives is excellent.

It's an ESS supercharger (top of the range CFR 525 i think), and not cheap...!

I have the same kit and am not happy with it. Hoping the pads will be knackered soon so i can switch from the Ferodos!

ferodo are not knowed to be the best, but they are still not bad, most E46 and Csl around ma place on AP are fitted with pagid RS29

Funnily enough, that's exactly what SM said. Use the Ferodo 2500 pads through winter when i won't be on track then switch to Pagid RS29 (which i had fitted on standard caliper set) or Performance Friction pads next spring
