[quote][i]Originally posted by Kyle T[/i] I'm hoping it'll be a keeper, we'll see what the next 9 months brings :look: Quick update as I got some new brake discs from Seriously Lotus last week. As previously mentioned I was talked down from something a little more gucci and I'm happy with the decision. These are slightly better than OEM in that they actually have directional vanes now (Lotus shipped with all four discs orientated the same way, so in theory worse cooling on one side of the car than the other) and the hubs and vanes are painted on these ones which should keep the grott at bay for a short while. As a reminder, this is why I'm replacing. Inside of my front discs both looked like this shortly after I collected the car: [img]https://i.imgur.com/KOMrI40.jpg?1[/img] I did make attempts to clean them up with a sander and a drill to countersink the holes a bit, but no dice. Not even a day of Blyton got them cleaned up and this is how they looked after the day: [img]https://i.imgur.com/hm6wtlq.jpg?1[/img] Inspection of the inside pads show that I've lost a lot of meat, and wasn't getting much/any pad transfer on the inside. I had to take even more meat back off the pads with a sander to make sure that they don't just muck up the new discs too so by delaying this I've easily cost myself a premature set of front pads, though the current ones should be good for the next couple of trackdays... I hope. [img]https://i.imgur.com/2R6SFs8.jpg?1[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/dGKGaeV.jpg?1[/img] Discs on without drama, and set about doing some Pagid approved bedding in. Pad transfer seems even so far and the brakes are feeling pretty good, I need to jack the car up and make sure I'm getting some good transfer on the insides too just in the event that I'm not getting enough pressure on the inside pistons (they feel free enough by hand, so hopefully not).
