[Big Ben]

Oh boy... They are dustbin lids

Is that what they call two piece rotors? What's the benefits if so?

Other than looking amazing...!

Brake disks arrived today (well yesterday actually but I was out) and I'm very impressed. Great customer service so far from Reyland, who built these to a custom spec in about 2-3 working days! They beat the estimated delivery day - I believe there's a lot to be said for managing expectations and over delivering.

Some pics of the bad boys below. To get a sense of scale I have placed a standard disk to the top right

SAF !!! - That's 'sexy as ****

Lol @ the pic of a standard disc.

What's the benefits if so?

better heat dissipation and lower weight.

LMAO Steve you've hit the nail on the head, I think that probably is the most noticeable difference!

My one and the Mrs keep me skint! She's just gone and booked a mediterrenean cruise for the summer for us, so I darent say I was hoping to save for Recaros/white wheels.

Those discs look gorgeous

Great new upgrade on the discs. I'll be doing the same on mine soon as discs all the way around need replacing, hoses and updated pads soon too to go with them! Keep the photos coming.

Thanks. Remember you may be limited by wheel size. I'm hopeful 355mm will fit under my 18 inch Braids but it will be close. Lots of people use 330mm under 17s with Clio calipers. Think if you go up to 343mm you need to file away the front and rear edge of the clio caliper but not sure about if they fit under 17s.

Some other bits arrived today

Still waiting on the calipers though

It's the kids that pay for the car Steve. They work in the factory all day through to about 9pm and they live on very meagre rations. I get a few quid an hour for them but it's cash in hand...

Think Peter summed up the main benefits Ben. They also allow me to run the larger Megane calipers with larger pad area.

Yep 355mm Megane 3 rotors with Clio bells (to get the right PCD and centre bore.)

Yeah I'll be running a set of compbrake 330's on mine very soon. Might as well upgrade while the discs need doing anyway.
