There will always be naysayers :D I do understand that they are much cheaper than other alternatives. I have asked about them on track forums. KSport are UK Time Attack sponsors. Although my mind is deffo not made up about what to go for yet.

Otherwise, any one got a view on mtec stuff?
These:

Cheers,
Just to update all, I contacted mtec direct on this and they will supply these discs pre-drilled for the 4th Gen 4 stud pattern, for an extra £25. If you e-mail them, they'll send you an invoice so you can pay.

I won't be going ahead with an order atm 'cause of stopping my spending, but as soon as I have funds again, that's the route I'll be going down.

EDIT: Additional link to those (standard drilled) discs direct on their website rather than through ebay.

Considering 305mm rear discs to compensate for the increased braking at the front. :D

Standard are 260mm............ :mrgreen:

I'm thinking of using CR-V rear discs which are the same thickness, IE 10mm, the correct bore size and number of studs. As well as having a slightly shallower offset which will allow me to fit the OEM rear callipers easier.

But with an overall size or either 302mm or 305mm on the diameter. 8-)
