Just went out and got a nice juicy t-bone steak and will start grilling it in a few minutes.  It's at least a three beer steak.  A beer to get the grill going.  A beer to grill the steak.   And then a beer to eat with the steak.  Then Scotch later tonight to top it all off.  Rode over 300 miles today through VA.  Put some flags on my wife's father grave and my mother's.  Then went to the family cemetery and put flags on the veterans graves there that didn't have any.

Oh, and to stay on topic.  My EBC rotors were marvelous. baby!

If nothing else is therapeutic and settles the mind.

The dying art of a good fettle and the pleasure it brings to oneself..........with you all the way on that!
Almost as pleasurable as dogging!     (ref Peter Kaye and the Car Share script!)

Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

Steak Store ? ...............do tell more  :ohplease:

That's it......diet plan scuppered by observing this idle banter......no steak stores in SmallHeath high street at this time of night......Mickey D's or a Kebab just in the staff kitchen just ain't the same! :censored:
Enjoy Jim, and think of us when the next tube is cracked!     :cry:

Getting this thread back on track ...

I think the rotors are the Arashi ones, just branded differently. At low speeds the braking is spot one - no issues. At high speed there's some pulsing, but nothing I can't get used to, although its a bit disconcerting. I'll see how it goes as everything beds in

Holy thread revival!

Any updates on these discs now some time has passed?

Mine need replacing and am looking at options.

Mine (Arashi) have 31k miles on them and only a hint of a lip.
Longevity is good, bobbins don't need to be cleaned, and braking is as good as always.
Use with good quality HH pads.
