SPARKY68 Is The Man!
Posted this up in my own build thread... But i believe this guy needs his own recognition for this generous act of helping a fellow member out in a sticky situation
Visited A1 BN and saw oldgreysteve on saturday... Have a read of my review on their services here http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=977836 They fitted the following M3 Control Arms Brembo Brake Discs Akebono Pads OEM Anti Roll Bar bushs OEM Flexi Brake lines But there is one shout out i need to give!!! THE BIGGEST THANKS TO Sparky68 (Mark) Absolute legend!!! I needed new pads ASAP as i have had terrible handling issues due to warped discs, and blown bush's. I was in a desperate rush to get everything fixed and i had ordered Akebono pads from Amazon US... But the wait would have been 2 weeks! Something i just couldn't handle. The car was handling dangerously. I messaged Sparky on Wednesday with a cheeky question as i knew he had purchased Boz's pads which were recently up for sale. I asked if he could send me his recently purchased pads... I wasn't expecting a Yes, but when he straight up offered to send me them, without any money or assurance... I WAS OVER THE MOON! What a real gent this guy is!!! I had them arranged to be picked up thursday from his work place and i received them friday... BOOM! I will be sending my new akebono pads over to Mark when i receive them. ONCE AGAIN! Take note Lads! Sparky is one awesome guy!!! |

Josh you are a very well respected and trusted member on here, I had no worries about sending you the pads.

Josh
When you get a chance, post up some feedback about how the pads are. I was looking forward to using them, but I didn't get around to fitting them before I sold the car. I'd heard good things about them from the US boards and the elimination of black brake dust was very appealing. Nice one Mark! Top bloke. |

Hey boz you at work this week? Will pop down or you can come up to Red Bull for a coffee?
I was not going to fit the pads until MOT time anyway and Josh needed them badly so was a no brainer.

In regards to the performance.... Well they are not performing great just yet, but they need a short while to bed in i guess. So in 1000 miles or so, i will get back to you about the performance. I have also installed new brembo blank discs and new oem rubber brake hoses for the sake of it. |
