sh*t the bed!! Perhaps thats not the kit for me then LOL. Would like to sort some uprated brakes before adding more power. But dont want to go bankrupt in the process
Will try and give Alex a call to see what would be best for my needs and how much its going to cost me. :)

DB9 and 362mm floating kit is £1900 with pads.  That's with grooved discs, drilled for some crazy unknown reason are more.

Still looking great.

Currently using Pagid Blues. Can't remember if I'm currently using oem or superglue racing but they performed fantastically.

Haven't got around to doing the MC upgrade but seems to perform great without.

Can this kit be used with the cheaper 362mm AP discs?

Also anyone know if they will go under pescaras with/without spacers?

It's exactly that Red I'm after for my calipers Mike, can't find high temp paint in that exact shade anywhere  :sick: :sick: :sick:   :sad1:
