Discs are 325mm and they are good. It was claimed, I think on Top Gear that the FRS had same stopping power as Porsch 911. Get the discs grooved and with good pads they will just get better.

The AP's are good, just pull the car to a stop, you can hear shreds coming of your tyres when I press down hard.
