At least not for the OEM caliper.


You can indeed get 2pc front and rear from Compbrake.

I got Compbrake them to make them with help from two others who kindly supplied the template old disks.
But was met with the usual apathy once it came to actually paying the hard CASH for them in a GB.

Cheers

When are you at Coombe, and can I help your fuel bill?
I'm thinking it would be educational to fit the datalogger

What are those beasts hiding behind the Spoon calipers??

Steve, 22nd June hopefully. Daytime though...

Lucky, ta, just off to look.

What's the general view on cooling mods on the S? THere's obviously oil coolers and better radiators, but what is the point where one is needed?

I'm a little worried about driving in the wet with them though...
Man up!

A048R's are fine in the wet. Standing water isn't fun, but they're not really a problem. I did something like 2000 road miles on mine.

I did a lot of wet miles in the Exige too, a lot at full throttle on the motorway in lashing rain No probs at all.

But the Doris sometimes drives it (albeit very slowly)

The are racing brake two piece jobbys Mark. I did loads of reading on brakes before I went with my setup and they came out really well.

I don't think cooling is an issue unless your boosted?

Only one I would have is Rotrex AJ, but it's currently a really well balanced car with the mods it has. It might be an option in future, but i'm loving it as it is for now. THe ECU has made such a huge difference to it.
