Satanschild is a UK dealer
There nothing on his site to say that he sells JHM and none of their bits?
He sells 034 gear and gets it from then I think? I've spoken to him about parts before

to fit 380mm discs (15mm larger) do the calipers need extending brackets?
if not, no braking torque advantage
which really doesn't matter anyways since you always have more brake torque >> tire friction...ie, you can lock them up and you need ABS to prevent such

I nearly got some of these when was in the US but excess baggage would cost the same as shipping to the UK & with the weight felt sure would have to pay the VAT when I landed so in the end didn't bother. I considered the 380mm discs but in the ended gave up as they would only give 4% advantage, may not fit under my winter wheels, would need to space the calipers out & cost a lot more than their std rotors.
Would definitley try to get a std set of rotors when the time comes though as they look very well thought out vs stock
JHM themselves were very helpful too

i quite like them i think the braided hoses better fluid etc makes a difference all that said i think they'll be coming off shortly for the new ceramics

! they werent that exspensive somewhere around 500 sterling i think which is cheap when considered next to the price of stock discs

Where did you get your ceramics from Danny, Doug's 'connections'?
And did you replace the rears with slotted discs in the end as well.
Arthur, they are supplied with spacer brackets to fit the 380mm discs in. Won't go in / under 18's.

Being able to lock a wheel has sfa to do with sizing brakes for a given application. From what I've seen you could fit the smallest modern disc brake around to an rs4 and still be able to lock a wheel at any speed. The real interest is how they perform near lock up and here generally speaking bigger is better even if torque leverage is the same. Course you need to make sure you're not introducing extra mass that wipes out any advantage you may have.
