    Got them through eBay £170 pair fronts £140 pair rears yeah there dimpled apparently reduced chance of cracking compared to drilled

    Can't comment on them until there bed in few hundred miles then will report back but they seem very well made and had good reviews online

    Thanks for the update! I have EBC pads on my car, so think I might go with the same style of disc as you rather than the stoptech. Think those look real nice!

    That was going to be my next question, what color are they lol The eBay add makes them look gold/bronze with green, wouldn't be into that. But your photo look like a gold color.

    i think he puts on ebc red stuff afaik ... thats what on my car after refresh

    ebc discs look well i think ... not too boy racer looking imho

    be tempted myself ... be curious if gold colour can cope with weathering etc

    Re the gold finish after looking online think the gold wears off when you brake therefore when all gold is removed the pads and discs are perfectly matched then do the bedding in procedure
