Gawddd, whats those 330mm rotors for...stopping a locomotive?, and whats the caliper..alloy or cast iron, I'll assume alloy.

Lemme get this right..you removed a 284mm rotor and 9Kg caliper designed to stop a 2192Kg ( 4832Lbs for uncle Pete) sports sedan and replaced it with a 9Kg rotor and lightweight caliper? to stop a 1200Kg (Approx) cobra.

Nuh thanks Nick, I wanna get weight off the front suspension. The Jag stuff stops them very well if properly set up but it's soooo bluddy heavy.

I've got a write up somewhere, published in Snaketales where the cobra owner was actually wanting to reduce his front braking force. The problem was he had too much front brake and the rears were not contributing to the braking force at all.

Each to their own I guess but my aim is to improve the handling not the braking...got heaps of that taaaa.

and....that's Mr Grand Dad to you thanks uncle nick

Cheers mate...and it definitely is your shout.
