I was under the impression that the 362mm kit needed 19's, otherwise I would've gone for those in the beginning.

Also, is it me or are the grooves going in the opposite direction between the left and right disk?

Something doesn't look right there to me.

Had them on my type RA and 4 pots on the rear.It was an awsome setup and well worth it especially if your doing trackdays.

Good buy!

They're a pair of the same discs, i.e. not directional. Not right. Or should that be not left

There is definitely something wrong with those discs IMO. The vanes should be trailing in the same direction on both discs yet they clearly are not. I would assume one of the discs has been mounted incorrectly to one of the bells.

The photo below is clearly the off side.


This photo is clearly the near side, the grooves are 'sweeping' forward on this side if you get what I'm saying, yet they are not in the above pic.

Thank **** for that! I was hoping you had noticed! Looking forward to getting mine fitted. I went the whole hog and bought the rear kit as well, just got to find the time to get booked in.

looks nice fella, had near the same ap setup as you but i had the 330ml discs, with red dot pads and dot 5 fluid the braking power was neck braking but at £450 for the discs you was too scared to use them lol. Watch for the inner pistons as they tenned to stick.

Tell her she can have her holiday when you get the rears, not the other way round.
