Alex (sorry to butt in here),

 

But you can get them from Silverfish Performance .. they're based in Kent, nr Ashford. I know cos I picked mine up from there, before I sold 'em to Phil (lucky boy :D).

 

I think they're listed on the dbadiscs.com website. Drop 'em an e-mail (there's a bloke called Tony Mason there), they replied quick when I did. In fact, this is where Wazza got 'em from, despite stories about how his Grandmother hand forged them in outer Mongolia or something. I know, cos when I arrived at Silverfish, they asked me if I knew him!! :rolleyes:.

 

HTH ... (sorry for any painful memories).

 

CheerZ,

LMAO,

 

Yeah he was charging £360 a hit or something as a special price. The story I got was that his uncle made then in south affrica.

 

I'm now starting to wonder where he got his radiator stuff from :rofl:

Silverfish no longer exist i think,one thing for sure they are no longer the official supplier to the UK for DBA goods,i got mine from Middlehurst,had the last pair,even they do not know who the new supplier will be,i got in touch with DBA and they said http://www.motorsportinternational.co.uk will be the new supplier, i gave them a ring and they were waiting on a shipment,so best give them a try as this was about 8 weeks back.

ps maybe a tuning comp at Thoresby or Billing will have them

how much of the disc is in contact with the pad? Looks like there is half an inch at the bottom of the disc which the caliper can not reach

LOL, f\/ck me, you'd be surprised where half the tuning stuff comes from and how much it ACTUALLY costs to make! ROFL :)

their phone number doesnt work and there is no listing at directory enquiries. I even sent them an email but no response so i can only asume that the they're not there any more -

Still conducts the heat away and gives a bit more real estate for cooling though.

Try Johnny at GPS if you need skyline disks, got me some cheap that lasted about 25k with no problems. Warped them recently but they are pretty worn now.
