I\'ve been working on this for a while now, and should have the first pair on a car this weekend.
the Kit will consist of
300mm rotor x 2
alloy mounting bell x 2
Bolts for the above x16
caliper mounting bracket
It is designed to be used with a 2L caliper (256mm normally). The combine rotor and bell (with bolts) weighs in at 5kgs, which is the same as a 256mm std disc. So you\'ll gain an extra 15% in braking at no gain in unsprung mass.
This kit is similar to the ones available for the honda\'s made by AEM

Why 2 piece discs?
Cast disks warp due to the sudden heat built up on the friction face of the disc and the centre still being ambient, 2 piece discs over come this by having a different material in the centre better able to disipate the heat away rapidly. Also the over all weight of the item is substainially less than a one piece cast item (288mm V6 disc is 7.8kgs a side) meaning no increase in sunsprung mass of the vechile.
Now the price
As you can see the above kit from the states costs $495 which is £285
Which is what I shall be selling these kits for, and postage and packing will be around £15
I am currently investigating 4-pot calipers to go with these brakes, so will be available in the future, but not at the mo.
I need 10 ppl\'s names who would be interested in this for there cars.
Add your name below if you would like a set.
Cheers James
