Ask Martin for honest opinion, he seems straight up, he told me pretty straight what the options were, alcons seem the highest quality but he has some racers testing others....just ask for his recommendation based on your spec and ability / use.

By ability I mean that as I was learning to race I wold warp discs but my mate who was much quicker than me could stop much better and not warp them by lightly loading them and then rapidly increasing pressure then trail braking off again...short period of heat time.

when it comes to brakes, i think martin's experience will be hard to beat when it comes to what works well with what, be it calipers, discs or pad combo's simply because he's done so many of them

i can't falut the discs he supplied to me as they've been on the car for years and still run true with no vibration through the steering or peddle

martin wouldn't sell anything that's shit, especially something as safety critical as brakes.

I rang reyland about there discs!
Very helpfull, the main difference is that the cooling vanes are straight on his , and most others are curved ( better heat disperse )
Under hard use .

I think under hard use ,genuines would cool better !!

They were very honest
