Upgrades! V70 UK 1998

Getting delivered tomorrow a front strut brace, and EBC turbo groove discs with green stuff pads around.

Changing the brake hoses and fluid at the same time.

Will let you know the improvment to cornering and braking in due course!

Also had a genesis 5 channel amp, JL front deck speakers and JL 3w3 12" sub with becker navigation pro high speed head uint fitted - i'm more into quality than boom tizzzz!

Had them all fitted today - first impressions:

Well, steering is much heavier, and has life in the wheel - where as before it was numb.

Roads where really wet, so not a good time to play on roundabouts - will report further.....

Brakes - need about 500 miles to burn off the coating and bed down, but blimey - they start to work under little pressure, and make a nice noise as well.....and just work much better!

Won a set of T5 Alloys on ebay (£99 for 4), so having them refurbished, then fitted with new rubber (conti prem contacts) along with new brake hoses and fluid change.
