Sorry, five50, been on holiday and have only just seen this.

On the rear axle I've gone from Tarox discs with Carbotech XP8 pads to OEM discs and Life110 pads. Without doubt the former setup performs better. However, the difference isn't massive and there is zero squeal on the road! So basically I achieved what I set out to - excellent biggrin

What I would say though is that I have suffered some 'grumbling' from the brakes and I can only really put this down to the rears as the front setup has stayed unchanged for over 18 months. It wasn't awful, just slightly disconcerting, although they did seem to continue to work. I've just done a second day with the setup and again they performed well with some more grumbling/judder. In fact, the car flew around Anglesey but that had more to do with the AST coilovers which are quite simply superb.

I did message Mr Pook after the first day and he suggested trying the Tarox discs with his pads, which I will probably do later this month. I have Spa booked for the 1st of July and would like to try this combo out before then. The OEM discs are pretty soft but I wanted to try them again as they are quite a bit lighter than the Tarox. Ideally I'd try a different lightweight rear disc but I'm not aware of one available (at least in this country)

Try Paul or Anneliese at Wortec (not always quick to reply, but be persistent). Their floating discs are c.2kg lighter per disc than EOM. I have them on my S.

Do they fit front and rear or just rear? Do you use them on track? What pads? (sorry for all the questions!!!!)

I have Life110 performance road pads on the front and OEMs on the back. I don't track my car, at least not yet. Take a look at Wortec's instagram feed for a better idea of the work they do. Btw Paul & Anneliese have their own A110 which these discs are also fitted to.
