I looked at the speedo and I was still over 200, I brake faded past him (overtaking lane) and then slowed just in time for the car travelling infront. Poo particles everywhere lol.

Hopefully you can get it all resolved and she's as good as new!Took it to Lynford this morning.. Girl who answered was VERY helpful. Took it in a while later and they said they werent sure how long it would take. Very seriously asked for a decent loan car (XR6T or better lol) and was told I could pick it up in the arvo.Turns out it was a switch or something, but its a new stalk to. Brakes were machined (now only covered for 50K kms in all new fords) oil leaks fixed and somehow they found the time to do an extra 40kms.. Still, the car is as good as new... for now Kieran, im not sure about one of the EBC pads. I'm sure I ran both in the wrx at different times and I know I had problems with one of them. Maybe it was the reds? Lots of brake dust and chewed rotors!) Sold the car with lucas pads (apparently stock sti ones?) and they werent too bad actually! Cheap to! Brake fade isnt fun and the only time I've experienced was on mayo lol about 11pm. Not worth skimping on brakes, tyres and suspension.Are the Ferodo 2500's or 3000's available for the big fords? Drove a few cars with 3000 with DBA4000 rotors and felt good! On the subject of brakes, Ross at Lynford was telling me XR6T pads are good for 75,000kms and the rotors far more. Crazy stuff!
