Default alcon discs

mine are starting to get a little thin

so what options do i have??. is there anyone out there that can supply them at a better price than subaru. i would like to fit something abit better as going to do few trackdays this year, maybe some nice bells and discs.

maybe pics of what you have on yours ?? contact numbers would be good so i can track some down??

cheers mark
(hope you all have had a good long weekend)

A friend of mine bought a set of AP slotted discs with separated custom bells from e-bay, they fit perfect and has no problem at all two months now.
Of course the Prodrive discs are the only reliable solution but have a look at e-bay.

Mark, Ian at Godspeed does a set-up with Discs and bells, which i believe is cheaper than the Alcon discs.... and next time you need discs, they're even cheaper cos you don't have to replace the bells!!!

There was a similar thread a couple of years ago and I suggested talking to BG Developments in Bromsgrove. BGD are an agent for AP Racing but also make their own bespoke stuff like bells. The guy spoke to them, they sold him a pair of AP Racing discs and made him a couple of ally bells to mount them. He posted up a few weeks later what a good job they'd done. So give them a ring as another option. Talk to Carrie on 01527873716

spoke to BG developments,

they said they can and would do it for me. but i would not really make a saving over subarus alcon price. they said they will be willing to do a group buy if we had ten our more. so i think the next step is to do some more shopping and see what i can come up with. and also see if anyone else would like some made up

cheers for your help

MArk,
Ian is a one man band, don't expect him to answer the phone during the day, he's busy tending to the machines, and can't hear anything, either try him first thing in the morning, or possibly from say 4pm onwards...... you might have more luck that way, the plus side of this is that you're not paying some totty to answer the phone for him!!
ie, cheaper prices......!
