I finally replaced my worn out AEV 2.5" lift with Teraflex 3" springs and Falcon remote res adjustable shocks. What a huge difference they made!.

I also had the rear exhaust replaced with a new muffler and pipe, this was a bit of trial and error as the car has a long range tank fitted which takes up the space normally used by after market pipes. The end result is a really nice burble from the 3.6 without any droning at all.

Changed out the front rotors for DBA T2 slotted after finally ordering the right ones.

Let us know how they feel! If you can tell any difference to the OEM ones, please. Sometimes you can,immediately, others, it only makes a difference under load when they're getting hot. Same with different pad materials.

Any concerns with crap getting caught in the slots & chewing out the pads?

After replacing the rears. I felt a difference immediately. They bite so much better than the originals.

The fronts feel good as well, they make a big difference especially when they start to heat up, I went for a drive this morning and gave them a work out. I'm really pleased with them.

The slots are shallow so you won't get a build up dirt in them. So far I've had no issues with mud and sand. I also changed out both front and rear pads with Hawk performance ones from SBR. They aren't cheap as the standard pads but they should be harder wearing.

I thought I'd try some side stripes for something completely different.

They were just cheapies so if they don't last or I decide I don't like them I haven't lost much. They were a pain in the arse to fit though.

No need to be sorry. After reading a lot of your previous posts, you've never had anything good to say about anyone's vehicle anyway.
