Eddscott - My PM is empty now , the difference between the standard size and the 335mm kit is huge ( thats as in size and performance ) I had Mintex M1144 pads which worked fine from cold , the hotter they got the more they gripped , it depends on how hard you drive as to which pads are better for you , Ian can advise you on which pads would be suitable for you .

Gussy - I dont know as I only sorted a deal out for the standard sized ones , email him and ask , perhaps you and EddScott can start a group buy going for the 335mm kits , I think he knocked off about £50 per kit on the last one

Thanks for the info awd wrx ,if that the case I'll have to think about it

Leonski,
I had these before I went for Ian's 335 kit, there is a definate improvement with grooved discs and the right pad, if you're hard on brakes don't get the drilled ones, mines started to show signs of cracking, but then I like braking a lot!!!! Probably ferodo ds2500's are best these days!!

Awd wrx - sorry count me out - I've got home and had a really good look at the existing one's and they are really hardly worn - so I'm just going to stick to the Pads for now!

I'm in on this too, buying grooved and drilled rears with pads to match the 325mm Brembo's up front.

I've emailed Ian to confirm.

Its very easy to change the discs , 2 bolts holding the caliper on , take these out , move the caliper out of the way , tap off ( hit hard maybe ) the disc by hitting behind it as its only fitted over the wheel studs , clean off the hub face with WD40 and emery cloth to get a good surface for the disc to sit against , fit the new disc and re-fit the caliper , you should fit new pads as well which requires taking out the 2 pins holding the pads in place , slide the pads out , clean up any brake dust , push the pistons back into the calipers ( this should be fairly easy , if not your pistons could be sticking which can cause the discs to warp ) and slide the new pads in anf re-fit the pins , pump the brake peddle to get all the pistons out tight onto the disc , as I said , a piece of p1ss

Only just got paid for the job I was doing to pay for the discs, but looks like I'm too late if it was only on for 3 weeks...
