I've got a set of Rotor Discs waiting to go onto my VX.
For anyone who hasn't seen or heard about them, it's a new design designed to both save weight and improve braking performance.
The reduction in unsprung weight is approx 1kg which is certainly unheard of with other brake discs.
You can read about them on www.rotordiscs.com
These will be going onto the car along with braided brake lines and Redstuff pads (front) and Greenstuff (rear), and I'll have pics and a review up ASAP.
At £212.75 a pair, the discs aren't the cheapest on the market, but certainly something different, and ideally suited to the VX by the looks of it.

Feck me!!! They are RUDE!!!!
Question though - this is the second time i have see "sprung/unsprung weight" mentioned. Whats the adv.disadv of loosing weight here??? I would of thought loosing sprung weight was better - less for the springs/dampers to hold/move....

The quality of the discs looks superb. I just need to get them on the car ASAP then
