No there are folks on the vortex that have upgraded to those, the issue is that the Vented GTI rotors on a VW are just as effective and work well with Ceramic pads.
The rear upgrade from drum to scirocco disks are just as effective as well.  

They are just a tad too pricey for me, usually more than you can get for the car, and you will never re-coup the price.

IMHO.

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

I am going to be using normal g60 280mm discs I just doubt I will be needing the 2 pieces discs

Thanks for the reply

I'm fitting mine over the next couple of days. Exactly the same kit with G60 discs. I'll let you know what they are like once I've driven it.

I had some 256mm dynalites on my caddy for a while, master cylinder upgrade is a must. I used a t4 25mm one, I don't think they have dust seals so wouldn't want to run them on a daily

All fitted but I haven’t driven it yet. Will update next week once I’ve had it out.

Clearance it fairly tight but nothing fouls.

I’m looking forward to seeing what they are capable of once run it. I’m going to fit a bias box as well, to lose servo and horrible linkage.
