    Hi James
    Yes I don't disagree with you (see above post) when you compare what the items cost new it's not a bad price at all. I'm not in the market myself at the moment as my discs/calipers are all new and under 3 years old but it's something to look at if your about to change or replace these parts.

    I think I'll go for these, I have a big front end overhaul planned for the winter which will include new discs.

    Cool! It will be most interesting to hear what your thoughts are on them when you get to try them out

    Vented disc brakes

    I've got a front end overhaul myself. Just ordered these exact discs you are talking about. They come with spacers for the calipers. It looks like a straight forward install.

    Got ahold of some LCA braces and some poly bushings as well. All total about 567 GBP or $820 USD. Fast shipping! I ordered on the 1st and got them by the 4th! I'll need to box the LCA's first.

    I've just installed everything in your picture and more, obviously you need to get the car tracked after installation as the firmer bushes and LCA brackets will likely put the alignment out.

    When I first put the LCA supports on with all new bushes and control arms the car wandered all over the place - I was always planning to get the tracking done after the overhaul - but when I did about a week later I was quite surprised how far out everything was.

    Onto the tracker and the fronts were 2degrees out on one side and 1.5 on the other, needless to say after that was sorted it drives very nicely.

    Too many projects going on right now. My car is still up on jack stands. I hope to get it back on the road soon. I was thinking of boxing the lower control arms. Not sure if its really necessary. It's not like I drive the car hard.
