That's a lot of money for discs, oh well. Mine have aprox .75mm of wear each side, no idea how long they've been on there but I suspect it's been a lot longer than 20K. I guess it depends a lot on how aggressive your pads are. I'm getting my set up reworked to 320mm soon to allow me to run 16"'s again.

Had the car back in the garage this weekend and think I have sorted the problem for now! Had a good look at the discs and pads on both sides to start with. Pretty much immediately noticed that the discs had been getting hotter on the inside edge as they were slightly discoloured. So had a closer look at the inside edge and noticed that there was discloured ring around the middle of the disc. So guessed that something must be rubbing when hot...

Is there anyone on here running a similar setup who isn't suffering this problem? Maybe someone could setup some kind of table for us to fill in with our brake specifications. That way we could see if there is a common factor. A quick list of what could be included Master cylinder, hose and hardline setup, model of caliper, disc dimensions. Just another thought, does the RS2 run the same master cylinder as the ABY's and 3B's?...

Yes my discs are currently 330mm, once their worn out I want to look into revising the set up slightly to allow me to run 16" wheels should I want to. Hmmm, are you sure the caliper and bracket etc will fit under 16"

Trident got back to me today with prices for the discs. £249.84 Each plus vat. 3-4 weeks delivery time as they have to be manufactured. Meh. Just curious Kieran, do you know how long your discs have lasted? Seems my last set have only done ~20k miles. Not good.

no worries mate

Cheers, i'll have a look tomorrow. Out of curiosity does it throw the ABS light in all cases? As mine doesnt light up?

I'm not saying this article has the answer, but it's an interesting read and there may be more relevant information elsewhere on the site http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/wp...akedisk.shtml# Tom
