I have Ian's standard grooved discs with PF pads. The discs are around 3 years old and done 8k miles so looking at what replacements are out there. The G hooks are different, not sure if he does them in a two piece unit as well?
Just looking for some people's experience with them.

I run the G-hook 2 piece.
It's with the older style scoobyclinic 6 pots,unfortunately I'm forced to use yellow stuff pads,which aren't too bad I suppose but my options are very limited(might get some made next time or get different calipers? )
Also had to have the rotor made which didn't come cheap!
My only problem with the setup,and a presume it must be the G hook patern is I have a very annoying clicking when I brake,sounds like I have a lollipop stick in my spokes(memory's of being a kid lol)
I may just be my whole setup but when I get time I will try and lightly skim/smooth out the rotor surface to see if the annoying noise goes.

Ian, I see from your website that 2 piece discs with the 6 vents are £350. Do you make two piece with G hooks? Could you provide a price along with how much a replacement G hook disc would be there after?
I assume the pattern is similar to the AP just the material, inner vents may be different.

Sounds like the pad vibrating or moving in the caliper , bend the spring clips that hold the pads in place so they hold them firmer

2 piece discs are better for the harder drive , or those doing track days , or race and rally , but then we find people also get good use out of our 1 piece discs .
Cheers Ian

I've got the g hooks back and front worked amazing!!!!! noise isnt a bother you won't notice it, grooved discs are deffo louder.
i say worked because it worked great in the beginning for a few months and then i started to get the brake judder, thought it was pads so ordered some more (the kevlar pads that come in the g/j hook package Godspeed do) had it changed but the problem stayed. Tried the bedding process as advised but still didn't help. maybe this is just my car though.
anytime when I'm braking over 60mph I'm shaken like a salt shaker! never had this problem with plain discs so switching back to plain ones this weekend to see if any change!

Sorry for the hijack.....
Looking at the combo on god speeds website for 294/290mm discs for a classic.
Are they designed for a 170mm or 190mm handbrake?
Again,sorry for the hijack..
