Shippers

PS4 235's have been working well for me. A nice improvement on the standard tyres but without taking all the fun away.

Yikes, that is a mark up. They do look good though.

Thanks Lauren, will have a read. I think you also got in there at the right time. When I was picking up my 86 from the garage yesterday (boot latch replaced) they were saying there is now a waiting list a year long!

Also the weather is naf at the moment so it's won't be a lot of fun lying under a car in the rain on a street. Sounds like getting a garage to do it for you this time is the more civilised approach. Might be worth you giving TD a call if they are not too far from where you are. They know their stuff and have lots of experience with 86's.

Yep, I used to run Eibach 20mm front and 25mm rear on the recommendation of Fensport. Looked great and drove really nicely.

Congrats on the new car. Nice choice on the TRD. Look forward to seeing what you do with it

Welcome. Great to hear you are really enjoying it already. There is a wealth of information on this forum and some great members who will share their experience and expertise should you need any advice 👍

Out of interest what did he recommend instead?

Congrats. Looks like a great car.

Project Mu do seem to get good reviews. Have all those above who are running non stock pads also gone in for uprated brake fluid? And braided lines for good measure? Or are a set of decent pads and a well maintained brake system all that's needed unless going all the way with a BBK? Luke, hope you don't mind me jumping in on your thread. I thought it would be useful to hear what people also think about fluid and hoses as well.....and, because like you, I'm at thst stage of needing to replace pads and thinking an upgrade is in order 😀

I got it from Mike at TD. Not fitted it yet so would be interested to hear your feedback if you get round to fitting it before me.

Yes, I'm in a similar position of needing new pads all round soon. I was going to go down the Ferrodo DS2500 route but open to good suggestions 😀

Or still lock the doors by using the key which then doesn't arm the alarm. Still same insurance concerns though that you correctly called out.

Yes, I went EL with the springs as well. With the springs in, the gear stick goes back to centre (neutral) with a bit more force. Less 'slack' i guess I would call it. As others have said, it is hard to describe but going into gear has a more positive feel is best way to explain it. Let us know what you think when they are in.

Great choice to get that done. EL or UEL? Shifter springs are a no brainer if you are having the work done for the NA package 👍
