Default Performance friction discs, any users or knowlegable types out there?

I have a pair of 355x32mm P/F discs that I'd like to use on my Sierra, AP discs use 1/4" mounting holes (about 6.4mm) but these have 9mm holes, anyone know if they simply use 9mm fixings to bolt them up OR if the 9mm hole accepts some sort of floating arangement?? Tried getting info off the net but with no joy.

Thanks but that's the later arangement, mine have 12 equally spaced holes. Just called the UK distributor who is going to look into it, he reckons they're early floating ones.

They do a range of discs now that use clutch type straps to achieve the float. Although thats maybe for direct replacement fit only.

Alyn at AS Performance does a lot of brake stuff, and might know.
