No, but one of my mates in Ft. Myers, Fl. has them fitted on his '92 GPW NSX with a CTSC and many other bits..
Any questions?
Cheers

Hi,
Forgot to add the questions in the first post lol New baby and lack of sleep.........orgot to add the questions in the first post lol New baby and lack of sleep.........
Whats the good and bad if any? Quite a few people has said to stay away from drilled discs and stay with the grooved as they dont crack as much, surely this must be down to heavy track driving and no just normal use?

Hi Sudesh,
Can't comment on these actual discs but have experiance of drilled discs (mainly track enviroment) and I personally would not even put them on a wheel barrow!
The problem, like you have previously mentioned, is cracking and unless they are ceramic they all crack between the holes under any hard use (track or road).
My view is simple, if you drill a hole in anything solid you introduce a weakness so I would always keep to solid or grooved discs. Increase cooling to solid discs and a good quality brake pad is more beneficial than fitting slotted discs if you want better braking performance in my opinion.
Hope my 2 pence worth helps!
Cheers
Pete.

The drilled discs no mater what manufacture will tend to crack under track use but that's unusual high heat for extended periods.
My friend doesn't run hard so not much worry there. Mostly there for looks.
I don't want to take any chances so I have "Bandi", (I think is the name, it has been awhile) slotted on the front, and "Racing Brake" on the rear.
I found out "Bandi" is the manufacture of "Brembo", and several other brand name rotors and they just put them in a plain coloured box and charge a lot less for the same rotor without the red box. No kidding. If you hold them next to each other you can tell they are the same manufacture.
My "Racing Brake" rears were a gift from my mate with the other GPW here in Ft. Myers when he bought his "Stop-Tech's. They are drilled as well as slotted but no worries because under even hard braking the rears don't get anywhere near as hot as the fronts and I don't track.
He has nothing bad to say about them and it's a less expensive way to get big brakes and still have good quality.
Cheers

Tokyo-Joe referred to having stop tech calipers in his recent track day exploits perhaps he can shed some light if he has the discs as well?

Hey guys, my discs are indeed slotted as the eBay ad picture shows, I'm no engineer but I can assure you that I have put them under serious abuse and got nothing but fantastic performance they also seem to be hard wearing, very little wear in 4/5000 miles.
I *believe* they are floating discs yes. If that means the center of the disc is not one piece with the disc? Sorry I am new to the world of upgraded brakes
