I'd give them a call / email before ordering tbh. They're up and running I think but don't seem to be really advertising it for some reason...

Think the car as standard is 5mm higher in the rear

How many miles are on it? As Will says, I wouldn't be concerned about it, unless it's been sat in a garage for 9 years they'll have gone by now.

I paid £25ish to get 4 of them imported, cheaper than 2 from a dealer at the above prices

If there's enough left to stick them to, they'll be fine. Just get some decent glue

You can get the originals from https://www.japanparts.com/parts/detail/?id=59148 - I've got 4 somewhere...

There's 3 people waiting on stuff in this thread, only one of which isn't currently getting a reply. Hardly worth replying to tbh

Any ideas where they're moving to?

If it's for a head unit just ground it

I've had a couple of minor issues with TD (bolts came loose on the NA kit at a sprint round, they fixed it and altered how they fit the kits since then) and part of the airbox melted but not sure on the fault as we removed it at the sprint (Mike offered to replace it). Other than that, they've serviced mine and done work on it and never had an issue with the service.

I got 40k out of my rears, and that was no pad left

It's only the rods that go because they're the weakest part, make them stronger and something else will go

The cult 86 group is a little odd because they post it on the FB 86 groups... seems kinda stupid posting in a group asking people to join your group on the same subject

I think the disc noise is for the floating option, where there's a tiny bit of play and you only get a noise when you brake the first time in whichever direction as the discs shift slightly. The pads / backing plates is what I'm certain I get as it makes sense its only in reverse as the pads bite, get lifted by the disc. No noise going forward as the pads bite and they've got nowhere to go downwards as they're already resting on the caliper

My theory on the noise is either the 2 piece discs shifting slightly - for those where it happens either direction and only once. Or the pads lifting up slightly and clunking in the caliper when braking in reverse which is what I have.
