i got mine from motoconcept for my Brembo V8. I think Owen (race-speed.com) was developing some too, plus steve at sj sportscars i think has supplied some for the earlier (pre-brembo) cars.

X-drilled discs, just say no! Seen too many crack and break under severe heating, including some on my car. Won't grooved discs do instead?

They do dimple (not drilled) and grooved discs that look ok so should handle heat better. Cheap too and work well with EBC greenstuff pads. I have them on my S4 but I expect they have the sizes to fit all Esprits

Its not that hard to drill standard ventilated discs they are only mild steel
Do a pcd circle mark out and drill make sure you champher the holes on both sides this will reduce crack possibilities
