This should probably be in the Appearance area...but DBA makes them:

There are also some "nameless" sets in eBay for very cheap, but I'd stay away from those...
Sure you can live without 500hp, but it\'s languishing.

My 2 cents: You're not going to improve your braking by changing your rotors. You can even make it worse if you install drilled rotors. Drilles rotors were "invented" when the brake pads released a "gas" when used heavily, reducing the brake power, so the holes helped extracting that. Slotted, on the other hand, shave a bit of the brake pad, hopefully increasing its grip.

In the end, it's just an appearance mod.

If you are serious (there really has yet to be a genuine reason to upgrade our excellent stock brakes) then see here...

I found some on ebay that i posted which were zinc coated.  Again this would be an appearance mod but at least you wouldn't have to worry about them going rusty   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

I have fitted Black Diamond drilled and grooved disks and pads to my Scorpio cosworth and to our previous car a 3.0 X Type and in both cases have seen a significant improvement with just the fronts but both cars had poor brakes for 150mph armchairs.

However, I have no intention of swapping on the 2 because the brakes are excellent BUT when they need replacing I will consider the Black diamonds again because I am sure they will be miles cheaper than Mr t's

Quote from: "stevewarbs"I have fitted Black Diamond

Did they stay black or did they rust?

after 2 years they are still black, apart from the face the pads rub on.
