Stick BMW ones on, they are semi floating, last for ages and are only £75 each or something silly.

Where/when did you get the disks from ?

I had a set of fronts that didn't last 6 months !! But last ones have been fine. My suspicous mind thinks either dodgy batch or fakes.

You are of course welcome Matt, what are you saying then? that you saved my life ?

... fate works in funny ways sometimes, If i hadnt of shagged my best friends wife once .. he would never had discovered that she had the clap !!

I dont think any of us were sick with Adam driving up at Bedford , do you know him then Jaw_F430 ?
Bromers, I have the original boxes for the discs, all AP , and it would appear that they were purchased from Thorney so they will definitely be the real deal ! Im seeing him tomorrow and sending the disc back to AP sounds like a plan as It does seem unusual when you look at the actual disc. I take everyones point about refitting OEM parts .... except Tankslappers cos he is just plain tight !

, my only concern would be the balance of the car under braking with PF on front and just OEM on the back, dont forget im a newbie !! I know both you T$ and Nath are running that setup...oh dear decisions decisions !

He used to have a Cooper S works GP and thats how I know him from the Mini forum, but I took the CSL to Bedford when there was a few of the mini guys going and ended up letting him show me how the CSL goes

Thats the boy ! He is my daughters, boyfriends sister ...uh ..sorry ..cousin ! I booked him for the day at Bedford as he knows the track so well, and it was well worth it, straight on it, trouble was once I let him drive I couldnt get it back !

Changing the disk won't make any difference to the balance of the brakes, that is a function of piston area, pad swept area and pad compound (obviously disk friction will play a tiny, tiny part in that but nothing of note as the BMW disks aren't rubbish).

I've seen several pics of AP disks like that but none of an OEM disk...

DuncanR · 09-12-2009, 08:11 PM

Mmmm , good point well made Nathan... I do still have the old disks I just need to check if they be front or rears !...
