    I already have it lowered, Tinted windows, Exhaust system, Smoked rear lights, VTS interior, induction kit, Oil breather kit, ive ordered a quickshift gear box, rear is being stripped out 2morro and im getting my body work sorted on friday.

    Is there anything that would make a big difference that i dont already have?

    Cash is waiting to be used in my project!

    i have pics on me fone, but i dont have a way of gettin them on the comp till i get home, i am at work at the minute. Problem with the pics atm is that me paintwork and body is not finished. 1 sideskirt is off being sprayed and theres a massive scrape on the rear arch on the driver side!

    wouldn't worry about a rear disc beam matey , they only account for like 15 % of the total braking effort , be better off spending that 300 on decent front brakes

    Steve to get the most from a vts you at least need a vts gearbox but worry not theres loads about for around £80.

    The rear braking may only be 15% but that 15% keeps you ina straight line, they come with discs on the rear for a reason, id definitely get it changed over.

    well as long as your rear drums actually work then they will still keep you in a straight line anyway , the furio has vts front brakes any way , there is no point of upgradin the back , unless your going to be braking from the vts's max speed constantly , lets face it who drives at 120+ all the time and needs to brake massively heavily all the time , i can quite happily brake from 115 to 0 and my brakes are great.

    Also just to add.. if you have to much braking pressure on the back it pulls the back of the car in too much and in the wet can make you slide out FACT

    Exactly good point thing is if the vts rear discs only make the same or a tiny bit more than the drums then you will actually get 0% gain anyway , like you said yeah its personal choice and if i had 300 to spend i'd definetly spend it on sumthin that does 85% of the braking rather than 15%
