Having just taken delivery of the first batch of discs (125 sets) for the first group buy, a second is now taking place. We're organising it through SportsMaserati.com as the discs are the same as a number of Maseratis. These discs are a direct replacement for 550s, an upgrade for 456s (cross drilled) and will fit 575s as long as they're the same as 550s (please forgive my Ferrari knowledge!).

Link below. You'll need to register on the SM site, but it's free and we don't bite!

Sorry guys,

I missed this post, has the list closed or is it still possible to order a full set for a 550?

Thanks,

think the GTA has 330mm disks.

I just fitted my Tarox ones for the 456GT, cross drilled with black top hats (so no rust like the OEM ones), £1002. Took about 3 weeks to arrive after order, as they build to order in Italy.
for reference - disks from Ferrari £3500, Brembo equivalents were £600 about 5 years ago (Mercedes SL front, Porsche 911 turbo rear). Mine rusted on inside, as callipers not centralised.

Yeah, GTA ,GTM and GTAM all run 330mm and are half the cost of the 456GTs.
Just replaced all mine, £1500 ish from Maranello Classics, one of the easiest jobs to date on the car.

Just in case anyone has ordered these discs, and doesn't regularly check their inbox on the Maserati forum, the discs are ready for shipping. Check your inbox on the Maserati site asap to provide delivery details.

Guys,
We've had 2 batches manufactured and delivered now - all buyers have been delighted (zero returns or negative comments) and a few have gone to 550 owners. We're forming the 3rd list now, need to get to 50 orders so almost half way there already. Check the latest post on SportsMaserati.com for details:

Just want to say thanks to Mark for organising this GB. I picked up my set on Saturday to go on a 550 - they won't go on for a while but a lot of time and effort has gone into sourcing good quality discs by Mark (for no benefit to him) and it's a significant saving over dealer prices - always a good thing. Cheers.

Bumping this - about to place an order in the next week or so - be quick as there probably won't be another order this year.
