Post by: jack2012 on July 16, 2015, 08:48:31 pm

The latest solution is to use the 340mm TTS disc. Much lighter than the 345mm R32 disc. I'd imagine you'd need a different carrier/adapter coming from 370s.

If you need the size, there's a two piece 362mm option, but it's a bit dear.

There are quite a few good threads on the subject, and Dave B and Alex at AKS seem to be the guys with the knowledge.

340mm TTS discs with fitting kit from AKS by DaveB is the way to go, I've spanked mine with no issues. Also its cheaper to by the discs and brackets than to buy just new TTRS discs.
