At the start of the year I fitted new discs and pads ready for the season. I went for Black Diamond (i think) slotted discs and PBS Comp Pads. I noticed after a few events hairline fractures/cracks in the discs but just ignored them as they didn't seem to get any worse. Well during this weekend at Blyton, they had developed from just a hairline crack to more like the grand canyon.

You can see all the hairline ones i mentioned but I think you will agree it might not be advisable to be slamming on the anchors from 110mph to 30mph on track with these. The other side - pic below - crack wend all way through the disc!

So with a full weekend at Curborough this weekend coming I thought i better not risk them, Tarmac Sportz to the rescue who only had Pagid "standard" discs in stock but with only today to fit them I couldn't wait to order anything so a trip to Derby in the morning and then got them fitted this afternoon. Thanks Chris.

And while I was at Tarmac HQ, I picked up my diff brace I had ordered and fitted that as well, with the abuse I give the car, its a bit of extra reassurance the diff wont part ways with the subframe anytime soon.
