Better brakes for Exige
Discussion
You'd be better off using Alcon 288mm rear discs than AP290mm's.
The AP 290's use an 8bolt, 165pcd ali bell which leaves a lot of the lower disc face unswept by the pad.
Alcon 288's are a straight swap so no clearance issue against the caliper and they use a larger 177pcd ali bell. This sits the pads on the disc face with no unused area of disc. They are also lighter than the AP 290's as you have less steel disc and more ali bell rather than the other way round and not using all the steel disc face...
