Probably do 2000ks per year or so. Not concerned about leaving rubber on road. Last cruise was a bit of a piss off. More day cruises and need to pick the moments more carefully. Its really not my fault, my car just loves going sideways.Dont buy many tyres these days for my car, but in the first few years I went through many sets 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for a different mounting bracket?Reason I ask is when asking wheel people if their rims clear brembos...it might be easier for some of them if I ask "does it clear brembos on a skyline" or whatever car? As those would be more common knowledge rather than fg brembos....or are they all different thickness/rotor combos?Is there any others that are the same as fpv 4 pots or are the ford ones unique?Would be good to know later when I look for new rims...kinda want my next set to be able to clear them (just in case I can ever afford them), and in an 18" (I know it's limited) but I'll go 19's if I have toCheers for any info!

As long as your fly wheel and pressure plate are ok. Maybe a quick skim and Bobs your uncle.Simon at Xtreme can sort you out . He fitted ours. Good for over 550rwkw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a word with him.Apparently they have a light pedal feel. Lighter than the standard stock clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the new power, it won't last long. I just need it to get through this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
