Lets talk brakes: Grooved & drilled vs Grooved

[cuprak1]

CupraK1, I've got Alcons on mine, and can confirm they are indeed as epic as epic gets... but then I was prepared to pay for the performance over what we're talking about here, there's a big jump in price.

what MM are they mate? do you know if they do a 345 x 30 mm kit ?

[tony_danza]

343x32 - You may be able to machine a few mm off the pads to squeeze them in, I don't know if the caliper would accept that?? Speak to Dave.

There's a few other things to consider though:

I don't know if the offset of the bell is the same as OEM, I don't know if the pad-swept area is the same and I don't know if you want to be spending that kind of money on a set of discs? think £700 ish.

If you find the answer is positive on all those, then ring John at EARS in Macclesfield - he'll give you the best price on discs & bells.

Alternatively, just buy an Alcon kit off him - the car will do stoppies, believe me.

[tony_danza]

Where are you getting the ATE ones from, is there a link for the others on here?

Had to email them the ATE part number and they sent me back their eurocarparts part number. Will post it up later when I get back home from fixing boilers.

Hmmmm....

I know someone who works for Euro - wonder if I could get you all a GB deal? I'll ask once I know the part number to give him, so he knows what he's quoting on.

Good point, i can get a trade discount at euro too.. so that would be an idea

Trade card FTW - the power of forums, someone's always on hand to save some money.

Now, if only Dave was around to chime in with a handy caliper suggestion to hunt out on ebay that matches an R32 disc & your M/C.
