yes PF do replacement rotors for the 330 kit as well as various pad options, but not the z-rated road type

Think we need to talk, can't have smoke billowing out of the brakes after the end of each time in the car. :-D

going to be looking for new discs and pads for my AP four pots with 330 ml discs soon, whats the pad and disc to have nowadays? (not too keen on ds2500`s anymore) seem to rip my discs apart too easily plus the wheels are a b,std to clean
I miss my scooby :(

I currently have the original AP discs, ran Pagid's originally - which were fine, but recently fitted the DS2500's that came with the kit. These are very 'wooden' and barely take 5-10 min out in my favourite playground, before they are starting to fade, and smoke when i stop to let it all cool down.

After ride at Brands in Mocoms JDM with PF discs and pads just fitted, I was very impressed, though would have preferred to have driven with them to see how they actually felt.

Good enough to lock the wheels at the end of a 20 min session on track at Donington last week from 135 mph :D

no complaints from me either and seem to work well enough from cold aswell which is handy for the sprints
although they are a bit noisy
Small one's are more juicy
