Thats cause my beam has been made professionally!! Really really well made. One of the most exciting things ive had come in the post esp when my mum rang me at work to tell me a dinosaur bone had just turned up

Crab. Where the car dosen't drive in a perfectly straight line. U can't tell it when driving (well, ubless its really bad).
When your following a car that crabs, u'll see that it looks like its driving sideways like / but its travelling in | direction

Shes got the same 288mm V6 Conversion up front as me.
Brakes pretty darn well. Again, pedal feel isn't great, but DOn says the rear brakes helped it a bit.
Stops quicker than mine i know that

I used the Rear beam, which is made to fit Astra backing plates and calipers and then used the black diamond braided hoses and green stuff pads and EBC discs!!
When i had just the front discs it wasn't that good but with the rear discs it stops on a 5p piece

It would be a good idea, if you can find one to fit.
Im still trying to work out this bolt turning thing that stiffens the pedal.
