the JHM grooved discs?

Alot of you B7 owners run the cross drilled/phaeton discs however if yours are needing to be replaced soon then have a think about these.

This is also for interest to B5 rs4's owners who run the front b7 Brake set up

your choice
either 365mm or 380mm Grooved discs... size is upto you depending on your wheels/preferences

its been discussed quite a bite that drilled discs crack and warp and at 550gbp a pop there not cheap. Phaeton discs are a very good replacement and at 320gbp they are priced reasonably.

JHM's 365mm grooved discs are $490 which works out to be 303gbp + duty
JHM's 380mm grooved discs are $650 which works out to be 401gbp + duty
(prices with the current rate)

ps: you will need to have hats from the b7 discs to mount on to these as they are sold as rotors only.

I have been in contact with Satans Child (Jack) and a few other people on the SRS forum who might be interested (you know who you guys are) and he can do a really good deal on shipping and could possibly do a good price if alot more people are interested

im sure jack will be along to add any further info.

sound interested then get your names down

1. Juice - 380mm rotor kit
2. CliveH - 365mm Discs

When are you thinking of doing this GB? Timing is very dependent on whether I would be in for this.

hey dude , all is well, just getting the car ready for the ring.

there is no minimum required but the more the merrier. Jack can get them over very quickly (ie: within 48hours) but if alot of people are interested and serious on buying soonish, we can share the shipping cost.
Waiting on jack to confirm prices etc.

Hi PG
i know GB go on for a while, but looking to wrap this up and cofirm numbers by 25th Feb the altest. otherwise these things get dragged on and dont go ahead.
as said i understand its short notice but the more interested , the better the price.

besides 380mm rotors will look the dogs under your wheels.

It's not that I'm bothered about. In reality if I change the fronts I'll change the rears at the same time and then it gets pricey. With road tax and Geneva Motorshow to finance this month another £1k on top I don't have.

I'll pass this time.

hi mate, at the moment its just me and you interested in the bigger ones (380mm kit)
as far as total costs it will be 401 plus the duty/tax at i think 24% however if its just 2 sets that are ordered they can be delivered at $95 which we could split. but saying that ive noticed your in scotland and im in london.
Jack (satans child) on the SRS forum is on teh case for total pricing etc. so will keep you posted.

Surprised others aren't going with the 380s....only 100 quid more n will still fit under standard 19 wheels.
