I've ordered the more expensive of the front discs assuming they will be the cross drilled versions as mine are completely shot. Didn't bother with the pads as they can be had cheaper elsewhere.

Used my CC just to be on the safe side. But the firm name seems familiar, Delticom. Which I think is behind Mytyres.com or something like that.

I'll update once/if I receive them, because at that price it has to be worth a try.

It's definitely a respectable group. I've unknowingly ordered from their sister companies in the past - mostly tyres, like you say.

Excellent stuff, got their receipt today and £360 for a pair of front cross drilled discs was too good to miss.

Strangely the smaller rear discs are more expensive than the fronts, is that the norm if I was buying elsewhere?

Good experience with these guys? the prices are so good they are almost unbelievable. Will definitely order from these if they are genuine.

Bit of an update on this.

Received a pair of these the other day:

Took best part of 2 weeks to arrive from Germany, but for the savings involved worth it and shall use them again in the future.

Another £80 on some Pagid Pads and that's the front end sorted for considerably less than internet folklore has you believe.

Got mine today, 5 days after ordering. Plus Brembo front pads. Saved a load on UK prices so definitely worth using.

Wonder who will be buying a bulk of these and selling at UK silly prices?

i ordered a set of Zimmermann front disks last week from 123spareparts. At the time or order the stock level was showing "two green bars - delivery within 5-8 working days" (in fact still is) but they've come back to me to say it will be mid August before they're dispatched to me. They said "Would you like to wait that long or would you like us to try to find another make for you?". I'd quite like them sooner rather than later so have asked them to tell me what they can source before changing the order. Are there any i should avoid?

The only other brand of like for like disks I know is Pagid. I think ECP do them.

Don't know if they're any good though. Can't see why they wouldn't be.

ECP are only showing Zimmermann but out of stock - a good 60 quid more expensive than 123 too

Maybe Zimmermann are having difficulty keeping up with demand. How desperate are you for disks? Can you hand on? Mid August is a couple of weeks away.
