they look good , but if you work it out you will be loosing part of the disk, so would be better with other brakes

Yea there sopposed to be upto a kilo lighter on some applications, I think there quite funky lookin but are pretty expensive, there the 2ltr size discs.
Anyone recommend a good set up then, i'll have a budget of no more than £200 and they must be grooved or drilled or if possible both

Blueflame's rotor discs are no more prone to cracking than any other EEC-manufactured brake disc casting.
Stick to a larger solid or grooved disc, don't bother with drill holes unless it's the blind drill holes like EBC's "spottie" disc.

reduced disc area can't be a good thing IMHO

They warp as easy as other OE discs. If people fit these expecting to be able to anchor on hard and stop on a penny, then they're idiots - the same people that usually warp their discs.
All brakes need to be bed in progressively and used progressively. If you need to take the car on the track where extreme braking is expected, you'll be better off with a separate bell and rotor system where you can replace the warped item a lot cheaper than the full brake disc.
I'd be surprised if any brake disc resisted warping after a hard life.

But people drive on the roads as they would if they were on a track. Don't leave braking to the last minute before anchoring on and not expect your brakes to warp.
