Great deal (although their shopping cart appears to be down at time of posting) and they look fantastic. Product and packaging are excellent. They fit easily under 2015 19" Black Optic wheels.

Initial bite with Ferodo DS pads is ok, but they are hugely powerful when you get into them. I'll track 1-2 times a year, so not having to worry about losing the pedal is huge by itself.

Happy to provide feedback or discuss installation further via PM.


Cheers

Just installed mine this past weekend. I haven't fully broken them in yet but I feel there is potential.

post up some install pics! I'm selling my new set in the classifieds. I was told I bought the last set.

No pics, I was covered in blood, sweat and Motul 5.1...

Great choice although I can't comment on the S groove rotors as I have the traditional C cups from Alcon.

My only advice is ditch the average pads, DS pads literally fell apart in my hand as I took them off after a track day, if you want some pads that are good for the street and can go OK at the track look at the Pagid RS19/29 range.
They will get a bit of a squeal if you drive them lightly on the street for long enough, you need to re-bed them in every month or so to always operate quietly but otherwise they are fantastic pads. Decent cold stopping and it takes a fair amount of punishment to get them too hot.
