Replacement GTT rotors would be around £159+vat each

Nice to know that my disks should last me a long time, even with my driving style!

I had the chance to give them a good try out on Sunday after bedding them in. Superb. Very progressive but when you really jab them they really pull up well and I have much more confidence in them than the OEM calipers.

The limiting factor for my braking distance is now the tyres, which are Eagle F1 GSD3's.

Cant wait to really push them on the track.

I was filling up with petrol last night when a guy stopped walking past, walked back, and had a good look. As I walked out he noticed me and said, "hi, sorry, was just checking those brakes out. They are remarkable!"

Caused quite the stir at a local car show. Had cars from 1922 to Skylines and motorbikes. The amount of people taking pictures of the brakes and the engine was amazing. Even the classic car owners liked it.
