IMO I think it would come down to what you want from your car. You said you want to just fill the guards a bit. But is that all you care about? If you want your car to handle well I would stay well away from pedders. I wanted my car to keep its stock appearance, so I got some stiffer springs (stock height) and new pedder shocks (as the old ones were stuffed). But now that I have, strut brace, underbody brace, castor kit, sway bars and polyurethane bushes. The pedders shocks are really letting me down, the handling feels 'nervous' under hard cornering and there is way to much body roll when the shocks go off. If you want performance, stay away from pedders.

... looks like I needed to be told twice before it sunk in, thanks babylon Direct quote from EBC SHIMS - WHEN DO I NEED THEM? Many semi metallic pads (those containing steel fibre) come fitted from the factory or aftermarket suppliers with rubberised metal shims on the back to prevent rattling and squealing. This is because of the type of material they use. At EBC we very rarely use shims because in 99 cases out of 100 we do not get noise, due to the non metallic nature of our pads. In certain cases however and in certain types of use, especially “under-use” shims may be necessary to quieten a pad. These can be obtained from EBC free of charge by simply calling 818 362 5467 and stating the type of vehicle. These will be sent out to you and again reminding you that the installation costs are for the customers account, we do not warranty this fitment charge or consider it part of our guarantee. So either I need to thrash my car more regularly, or I should get a set of shims.

I have been having the same problem with squeeling at low speed braking. I have new RDA slotted roters front and back. And EBC green stuff on the front with bendix ultimates on the back. I think the squeeling is due to dust build up? I only get squeeling on the front, and thats where all the dust is. The ultimates dont squeel or make dust.

Hey guys, (I tried searching but couldnt find anything) A few months back Autosalon mag threw in a free dvd. On it they had the Banzai CRX from high octane overboost. Has anyone else seen this? Short version - They do up a B16 powered CRX, bore it out to 1.8L and force 16psi through it then race it against various cars. The question that has been bothering me is, why could the 600hp R34 gts-t Skyline only do a 14 second 1/4 mile? surely skylines are faster then this?
