   bigger brakes are all about bleeding off heat. Personally i'm not a fan of drilled holes.
   
   On my 205 Rallye i regualarily outbraked brembo / big disc converted cars with halfords brake disks and race pads (to cope with the heat)
   Good fluid like castrol super dot 4 is essential but the secret is sticky tyres. Yoko 048R Medium compound being my current fav

   i have used the OMP discs and pads in standard vts size on a full day at cadwell park. never had any brake fade or loss of braking power.

   Are they drilled or grooved? and do you have a website? and is that including pads/ calpiers (not sure do you need calipers changing for that size)
