grip softner is the stuff.

a bit of toe in on the rear will help with heat in the tyres (or even toe out).

a clean with heat gun and scraper to get any track pebbles off if they're not already, or even just to get the hard skin off the rubber.

I tried that last year with bad results, it caused them to overheat and they became a real mess. with 300bhp and those brakes it shouldn't take long to get them up to temps.

I can't remember who it was, but someone asked me about the size of the brakes

343mm... or bloody massive in normal terms lol

Did a quick search for prices on replacement disks out of interest.

£430 (+VAT) a disk
