£900 seem's a hefty premium to pay for just a larger disc..!
Suppose it makes the 328/330 kits look a great deal..!

Sorry for not getting back onto this sooner, but yes the price is wrong for the 355 kit. The price is pretty much Euros! So I will work out a proper price for the 355 kit, and we also have the prices for the 4 wheel kits.

) so don't expect any sense from us until next Tuesday! However, if everyone on this list is a definite, we can move to order on Tuesday and take payment.There are various other enquiries in progress, which are taking a little longer than some might hope. Trouble is, in the US they don't have all the fabulous JDM models we do here! However, I will confirm 'all-wheel' kit prices as far as I can, next week. For those of you that wish to know the price of a 4-wheel kit, I will need accurate info on the year and model of car, and your wheels.
I will also correct the 350mm price
Cheers all and have a good one,
Liz @ ZEN
I,m a definate...
Clearly it is now the bank holiday (not to mention a race weekend ) so don't expect any sense from us until next Tuesday! However, if everyone on this list is a definite, we can move to order on Tuesday and take payment.

Fabulous bit of publicity for this GB then..!
I'm undecided on the 328x28 or the 355x32 as I'm trying to keep unsprung weight down as much as possible..!
According to the Stoptech site the weights are:
328x28mm 11.75lbs/5.32kgs
330x32mm 15lbs/6.8kgs
355x32mm 15.25lbs/6.92kgs
So, strangely, the difference between 330 and 355 is negligible. The bigger difference is down to the disc thickness, 28mm v 32mm..!
Wish I knew the weight of the oem one piece 294mm disc's as this would help me make a decision (don't want to increase current weight if possible)..!

Looks like I'm going for the 28mm then, even though mine is a lardy newage, I don't track it and only putting out ~340ish compared to what, 600+ for the Zen car..?
Paul, are we ready to go with this yet..? (prices for 355 kit may temp a few other)..

Need to wait for the prices for an all wheel kit , rears are nearly gone so time to decide on wether to go for 2 pots on rear or the stoptechs all round , Currently running Prodrive/Alcons up front on 18"s so no probs with clearance !!

To be fair mate I think anyone who's thinking of buying these brakes will have done their homework and seen the problems that you've unfortunately had. They will also have seen the numerous accolades attributed to them..!
Whilst you're obviously trying to help out, with all due resepct, you're the only person (on the whole of the web it would seem) that I've come across who's having problems with this setup.
I'm sure that Paul/Zen wouldn't be putting his credibility on the line with this GB and 'if' anyone is unhappy I'm sure the back up he will provide will soon have it sorted.
IIRC you bought direct from the USA and Stoptech have tried to help out as much as possible, but it does sound as though the problem you have is not related to brakes. They are after all NOT floating disc's..!
