Ive just fitted mine today and used EBC ultimax pads (their cheaper ones), but the greenstuff are also available if you like them. Might even be an EBC vented disc, though I cant see that being any better than the discs Martin and I have.
Scimike; Its to stop the warping of discs. The much bigger tyres put more stress on the solid discs and they are prone to warping, fade, etc. This also has a slightly bigger piston in the caliper and slightly bigger pads, both of which give a fair bit more bite and less fade. Asthetics is largley irrelevant as you cant really see it and even when you do it pretty much looks like it was made to be there
Only snag is you have to take the caliper off and tip it up to bleed them (nipple is on the side when fitted)
J999 MNY, ULYSSES M18 VVT with ITB's Dyno tested at 130hp
Pickup/tipper, R7me gearbox & 6.4 Rocklobster, 31" Toyo MT, 2x ARB air locker 3.9 diffs in braced axles, 6" total lift, Floating rear conversion, Raptor painted, CB, Recaro's, Caged, etc, etc...

Not today, but a couple of weeks ago I added a game rack across the rear seatbelt mounts, and a shelf to the back door.....
Nothing fancy but I just joined the forum and thought I'd better post *something*.
[hr]
I'm planning on doing something like this on the driver's side...
As it seems like it'll create quite a decent sized storage compartment that can be easily accessed. It'll be above the wheel arch so won't really affect boot space at all.
Has anyone done anything similar? How easy is the rear window to remove without breaking? (I'm guessing the usual bike brake cable trick will do the job)
I'm thinking of reusing the existing window glass and bonding the hinges & latch directly to it so that from the outside it looks totally standard.
...Might not make a start on this till spring though in case it takes longer than expected and I have to spend any time driving about with a missing rear quarter glass.
