Has anyone heard of the above brakes ? Just reading Leda's web site and they deal with the company Galfer . They seem to offer a good selection of uprated brake parts for the Coupe at reasonable prices. Im looking at the Extreme Kit Complete Kit: FDR brake pads with a performance compound DFX brake rotors with aluminium bell Super Dot 4 brake fluid £584 Not too bad really. I might call Leda and ask about the kit.

sounds good, but looks like you keep the brembos & they may be the same size, as it doesn't mention an adapter plate / bracket <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
worth investigating tho'
I would have been interested, but have just spunked a shed load on new brakes <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

only if the discs are mounted to flex like the AP? strapline system or other flexible bobbin/mounting mechanism. The caliper is the primary reason the discs warp.

I thought its the very substantial lump of cast iron that causes the stock one-piece coupe front disk to warp.
the reasoning for the two piece is to allow for a very large diameter disk , but not run into the warpage issues with a single lump of cast iron.
the weight saving from the alloy bell is incidental.
any views ? .

Jimbo, you really need to look at the small print <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> you have to add tax and deliverly mate. Works out to £708, which to me sounds very expensive. Hispec can sort out a full 335 system with new calipers for about 1k
