they do look pretty good.
would look into it when mine need changing for sure.

Mine need replacing now. Does anyone know anything about these discs, are they tried and trusted. Or can anyone recommend any upgrade direct replacements. Have found the originals to fade a fair bit, so looking for probably grooved or grooved and cross drilled, also upgrade on pads.
Cheers.
All help appreciated.

I would only fit those if you had some kind of show car, as reducing the surface area of the disc is not exactly beneficial. Neither is having cross-drilled holes as this will lead to cracking.

The best (first) way to combat brake fade is to user higher performance pads suchs as Mintex 1144 or Ferodo DS2500, both of which work fine from cold.

I'd stick with a good quality plain disc and decent pads, or maybe a lightly grooved disc (like 4 or 5 grooves) but even these aren't necessary and can sometimes add a little noise when braking.

They, IMHO, appear gimmicky.. the obvious question of why know one else has tried this design crops to mind..
