  1. Have you had a look at THIS ONE mate. Anno it's a bit pricer than you mentioned but as someone said before, it's a buyers market and you just never know how a cheeky offer will go down if you don't ask ;)

  2. This clunking when turning slow and braking has retured to mines. It dissapeared after getting new pads about 4000 miles ago.

    I took my wheels off today and checked the shims. Should you be able to slide the shims up and down slightly with a screwdriver ? or should they be soild onto your brakepad.

    If solid i think i may try to put some copper slip on the shims.Would this help ?

  3. Hello mate and welcome to LOC. It's all about personal tastes but if it's defo out of those 6 i'd go for both the 18" Momo #3 + #6.

    You'd probably be looking to put 245/40/18s on. If you look at my pictures you'll see the Lexus Aero 18s running on the above tyres. Look at THIS to give you a better idea.

    Just trying to showw off my car :lol:

    Hope this helps

  4. Tommy - brakeparts direct - 01706 666999 or 01204 385888 - they do the fitting kits for the front but not the back - i was quoted £17 from local ebc motor factor shop locally for fronts - rears appear to be main dealer only

    Thanks for the info Nick, much appreciated :winky:

  5. Iv'e got that dreaded cluncking noise when turning slowly and braking.

    I had this about a year ago and got my pads changed fixing the noise.

    Iv'e only done about 4 thousand miles since new pads so i know they dont need changing.

    The question is, whats needed to stop the pads moving in the caliper ?

    Is it anti-squeal springs or anti-squeal shims that stops the movement ? :duh:

  6. nice motor tommy what did you use on it tcut then polish or some other method i am thinking i should have waited and bought a blue model this grante grey metalic is a pig to keep nice ok good luck with the seagulls

    I washed with Turtle Wax Zip shampoo, polished with Autoglym Super Resign Polish, then waxed with Autoglym High Definition Wax.
