The second set.

The first set are only 312mm and I thought all LCR's were 323mm?

Don't buy discs which have been drilled - the holes cause weak spots in the disc making them prone to cracking or warping.

Just buy ones with grooves in only.....

If the cars got brembo's then yes its 323mm...

If you have a look in the badger 5 section there are many combos for LCR, cheaper than you think too
You can upgrade to 330mm 2 piece set up for serious stopping power, or stay on 323mm 1 piece grooved (maybe eliptically grooved too) disks for slightly better
If changing disks then pads should be done too, everyone will tell you to go for ferodo ds2500

im getting the 2piece ones, but what upgrades do people recommend for the rear?

 

[Ronin225]

Size wise ECS do a 308mm upgrade but its about 500 quid
Front does 80% of braking so rears just better pads and maybe disks

 

[DOLBY]

yeh but i would love an upgrade on the rears... grooved too. it would look miles better also..
is that 500 including pads?...£1100 seems reasonable for a full brake replacement and upgrade

I think they still use standard calipers but just space them out
Not sure on exactly what is included though
