Default 2 piece rotors, anyone used these?

Saw these on ebay, I need some new front discs, and would rather go two piece, seem (too) cheap...

They do look cheap. I've not used them, they have sold 3 sets so far, but no feedback.

brakes are so important - so I would NOT chance these in a million years without a trusted review from someone who knows what they are talking about.

I'd also want to match discs and pads - how can you do that with these?
trial and error which could easily trash (warp/crack) cheap discs and cost more in time and money than PF or Brembo!

conclusion - false economy until they are 'seriously tried and tested'

I can certainly recommend 2 piece discs as I run Performance Friction and like them but they will cost you quite a lot more obviously. but you DO get what you pay for.

Give Ian Godney a ring, or e-mail him on ian@godspeedbrakes.co.uk

He sells 2-piece rotors, I have had them for years and am on my 2nd set. Alloy bell, machined rotor.

Yes I can supply you my own make 326mm x 30mm 2 piece grooved discs and bells to fit with the STi brembo's for £295 a pair.
The bluestuff pads would in my opinion work better than the pads you have listed.
Cheers Ian
