Greg, how would the Silverstone Classic work? I know its Friday to Sunday, but in reality, it would be unlikely I could do the full weekend - more likely one full day....Greg

I had a trip out to Petrol headonism breakfast meet and run to sywell airfield today which was good fun. A few shots from today, the rest are still on my camera. https://flickr.com/photos/38796648@N...57708038046254
tyres swapped front to rear and car is driving really well.

Greg,
Perhaps you've had the alignment done and I hope the car is driving well. What I"m wondering sir, is if any resulting alignment print-out indicated what I think may be the current slightly "larger" than stock caster measurement, perhaps achieved inadvertently, and perhaps due to the current possibly flat-style ball-joints, but indeed if noticeably different, done with OEM parts? Was it still within the expected stock range? Did the technician notice or perhaps try to minimize it (i.e.: dial it back even though not much if any adjustment may be possible)?
As increasing this characteristic has been oft sought and discussed here, I'd be interested to hear yours and anyone's thoughts of possible pros and cons of this, your interesting mod.
For folks less familiar with the subject, the OEM parts in photo below show the stock arrangement:

Its been a while since i've posted an update. I got the AP discs swapped over this weekend as the current discs were at their wear limit, I have swapped back to the stock 28mm width discs. There was a few requests on what the discs and calipers weigh compared to the standard items so while they were off I weighed them.
So weight is:
Disc and Bell (330x28 disc) 6.9Kg
Carrier 0.795 Kg
Calipers (no pads) 2.4kg
so all in 10.095kg
I didnt replace the pads as they had alot left on them, but given the wear on the old discs im wondering if I should? Any recommendation on replacement pads?
I have seen some mention of CL pads https://www.clbraking.co.uk/ but don't know much about them. I have used Ferrodo DS2500's before.
Im after something I can use mainly for road that doesn't create tons of dust but will also be suitable for a trackday too.
