Looking forward to seeing how much better it is.See if u can take before/after photos of the your rims with the rotors showing, I wouldn't mind seeing if the rotors appear to be bigger cos of the slots...etc too

The standard BF rotors are ~325mm so there's a bit of difference there.The shop said there's twin piston PBR callipers they provide with those rotors which will fit ("they look like your ones but are different") and I'm thinking are they actually different PBR ones to suit a larger rotor, or are they just going to provide a bracket or something too?

Seems like a bit of a waste getting something the same, only cos it fits properly? its a lot of bloody money.having said that, im sure I could sell my current setup to someone with a BA looking to upgrade to bigger brakes?
