Discs are a common issue on the car and it being a heavy car is very heavy on its brakes.

Most people have replaced the OEM discs with Alcons which are slotted not drilled or something similar for around £1800 with pads which is not too pad.

I think I will go with APs that Middlehursts supply once my OEM ones need replacing, don't seem too expensive

My cuz can vouch for the alcons and uses RS 29 pads. Not sure but i think he swapped the discs out from new so he can put them back on when he's done with it.
These cars are more and more appealing to me every time i see them. Future buy for me i think.

I love Gt-Rs but the interior........ not nice IMO, especially the seats.

Congrats!

Yes recently sold the GTR and bought a CSL. The GTR in an incredible piece of engineering, but i felt it left me cold; the car seemed to do all the work with very little driver involvement. I also had issues with the Black Paint, very thin and poor quality finish, so much so that it needed a full front end respray after only 5k miles.
