good man, I used to work for VX too. Delphi stuff is really good. In fact so much so that their brake discs were taking more punishment than discs from companies like black diamond!

I rate the EBC red and yellow stuff pads (although yellow eat your discs really bad), but I am not sure about their discs.

I always fit genuine or delphi though

I know what you mean, I put in Ferodo pads and they seem really good, the Trackrod ends were QH ones, supposed to be a good make apparantly?

well, almost 2 weeks since lowering her 40mm and I really thought she would sit better, she is a bit lower than standard granted and actually corners now quite well but I want her lower. Is it worth buying 60mm springs or will the standard dampers need replacing with shorter sports ones too to get the proper effect? Any help appreciated. Mark.

To get the correct effect yes, imo consider replacing the dampers for shortened ones on the 40mm springs and you'll get a nice ride..
