Also the c-hook grooves perform the same function as the usual linear grooves (dissipating gas and friction material build-up under the pad surface) but without the noise, as they are a less regular pattern.

The rears are 280mm D2 S8 (from 269mm originally). The fronts are 360mm D3 2-piston sliding calipers (from 323mm).

The D3 front calipers are a straight swap for the D2 A8 HP2 caliper and are a much better design in every way. One of the few uses for the D3

Looking good is a perfectly good reason for fitting them!

My MoT today was all fine but for an advisory on slight pitting/grooving of the rear discs so that looks like a reason to investigate these
