No disrespect to yourself josh but HIDS4U and autobulbsdirect and a well knownm respectable company that I have used for 2-3 year since I owned my GT I have had the cheaper bulbs with the 4 LEDs on the end and they fail after a few hours happened to me more then once since then I pay a bit more for them like they say about tyres you pay for what you get buy the time you have changed the bulbs 3 times you equal the value of these bulbs I order. Also the bulb isn't what makes the brightness and the reflections its the reflectors in the lights you can get the cheaper bulbs that don't use the reflectors aswell as the more expensive bulbs meaning the light doesn't work aswell. This is my own experinces and no aim at yourself Josh.

Hope this makes sense as I'm not reading back though it as I have had to do this on my blackberry internet has gone down

[Karl]

Nope but they are better you should be able to tell by looking at you own light then these lights

On and with the progess fought id get hose braid lines made up by Goodridge so done my homework for both the RS and the GT and worked out all the hoses except the front one on the RS as i could match them wityh anything. Gave jordy the info on the GT to get himself a set and i ordered myself a hose and sent it to Goodridge and some money via the phone And look what came back

 

[Karl]

Got round to getting the Braided lines fitted to the 133 today with some help from my Dad to help bleed the brake back up seems to have done the job as the brakes still work :lol:

Just need to find time to give them some crap on a track i think

Front

Rear

Also one of it from inside the house

 

[Monster Detail]

How much extra are you paying the insurance company now you've fitted these? What exact benefits do they offer?

 

[Karl]

I need to give the insurance company a call in a bit as i done them and went out for a cycle havent called them yet but the car isnt moving nowhere for a bit :lol:

Also the stop brake fade and give you a better feel though the pedal

It will be interesting to hear how you get on with them and how much the insurance company charge. Did you clean your calipers while your wheels were off? lol
