Apparently those are prone to cracking. The drilled ones.... Although mine seem fine, although maybe somehow warped as I have judder. Not sure if that may have had anything to do will the drilled holes though.

And the grooved ones are apparently noisy.

No. I've got drilled because I run C6 disks and they don't do plain ones.

Out of interest what is required for a C6 set up ? Calipers also ?

It's a faff. I wouldn't do it again.

If you want to take advantage of the bigger disk surface then you need calipers. You also need to bring the disks out 6mm IIRC. So they don't foul on the suspension arm. So that means you need a hub extension. It's a pain, basically.

Ah, couldn't remember if you had the special set up as well. Take it you just did some of the donkey work for the mongs?

Yup. Seems like a long time ago now. Might have provided some dimensions of stuff. Can't remember. I thought you had gone for some of the J-hook disks.

Nah, I've got the drilled "plus" discs. I couldn't justify the money them pair paid for their brakes at the time.

Just for info, I managed to buy OE quality Zimmerman front discs (365mm) for £147 each side.

I checked lots of places (GSF/ECP/online) before ordering and these were the best I could find

Q-Parts24 GmbH & Co. KG on ebat Germany, but they can be ordered on the UK site too.

They arrived about 5-7 days after I ordered them.

I changed all for discs for Zimmerman.
I used winparts, very reasonable, good service, took a little time to get here, but worth it for the price. I used them for rear calipers as well.
