I fitted mine with EBC discs and Greenstuff pads. No complains with them at all. I have heard that the new ceramic Redstuff pads are really good and I have just ordered some for the XT.

Hi Ahmed,

Welcome back. Is your car the red one (R656CDA) that was at the JAE last July, or is there more than one LPG SVX?

Phil.

I need one!!!!!!!!!!!

I see that you are in London too - we are near Wimbledon so if you are every driving along and someone throws themselves on the bonnet of the car, that would be me.

Ahmed, did you check out Greens of Skipton? They are selling SVX parts from a scrapped car, and the front disks are good. And cheap. And you get free calipers.

How does it feel with that conversion?

Similar power or has it gone down a bit?
