Hi all,

The car (mk2 6GT3) is in for its pre trackday season check and I am told I the cracks on my Alcons are getting too big to pass the MOT.

Does anyone know the cheapest supplier of these (actually and what size they are?)

Many thanks

or switch to Performance Friction rotors, hard to differentiate performance, slightly cheaper and more readily available.

if pockets deep enough, stay with the Alcons, really awesome rotor.

size are 362mm

I phone JZM in January out of interest, £900 for the rotors I think it was.

Cheaper - yes to initially swap, but as I understand it the cost of replacing them once you have them is about the same as with Alcons you only replace the rotor and keep the bell whereas with PF you just swap the lot?

Not true Colin. I had my rotors replaced & kept the bells in January. Cost was £317.53 each
