Yes you can just fit 4 pots.

If you fit the 4-pots, then you need 293/4/5/6mm discs.

Grooved ones fit the bill - but get 4-10 grooves per side.

20+ grooves per side mean there's significantly less surface area left for the all-important pad/disc contact!

cheers guys may go for 4 pots then. i see a lot of the discs im looking at on ebay have grooved and drilled that can only be good right?

Nah. Those ones will have invariably had the holes drilled AFTER the forming disc forming process. This can compromise the disc, such that when using decent upgraded pads and getting serious heat into the disc when braking very hard, it can cause radiating stress fractures. This ultimately brings about the discs' demise.

I think the only brand that forms the holes DURING the forming process are Brembo ones. But then again they're mega bucks - IIRC their drilled "Sport" discs in 294mm are around £270!!! (Do look great though lol.)

No. They will quite likely crack where they've been drilled.

Harrison, it's brakes.

Breaks are something I have far too many of, when at <ahem>, 'work'.

Best prices, decent quality German made discs.

Apparently he no longer offers drilled ones due to issues mentioned above, but he DOES guarantee his discs even for track use........and not many can match that!

Harrison, for what it's worth, I bought these ones and had API fit them about 3 months ago. They're now obviously fully bedded in with the (Dixcel Z-Type) pads and work pretty darn well. No juddering/out-of-round vibrations or anything... yet! lol. Plus they look good behind the alloys:-

You really need to team them with a set of decent pads like Pagid Blue or Ferodo DS2500 to make the most of them though.

You can also get various makes of carbon-metallic pads (Carbone Lorraine, Dixcel, Performance Friction, etc.) for even better performance... But beware, these can spark and eat into the alloys, etc...

make sure the 4 pots fit under your wheels or you could be in trouble.

Yep, normally get away with 16" or bigger... depending if they have a suitable offset and/or the inside faces of the spokes don't foul....

My skanky 16" Speedlines clear 4 pots. Only good thing about them.
