Vented disc question ?
Was telling some one about my hobby as you do He replied "back in a mo".
He came back with two new pairs of capri vented discs. Said I had new solid discs but insisted he was fed up of triping over them
Is the extra braking worth the £35 I would need to spend on the spacer kit ? along with the extra weight it would add.

This is what eBay is for.
DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!

There is no extra braking available, vented discs reduce the chance of brake fade due to overheating, however the low weight of a Seven rep means that
overheating is much reduced anyway compared to the car that the brakes were originally designed for. Bling factor though....

on the balance i belive the extra weight makes them undesirable. Some even say you want hot discs so they radiate heat faster.

They are good brakes. I just fitted some to my Viento.
Better than the 240mm ones I have fitted.
But then I have more weight in Me ... nad the Viento
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
