X180 rear brake discs reproduced?

[tje111]

Like many, I am amazed by the factory price of the "Lotus-only" rear brake discs (outboard, for Renault box).

Now on ebay.co.uk, I see a UK supplier (motor factors, I think you call 'em) offering same (see item 250349322510).

Can it be true? Anyone tried a pair as yet? Other comments or opinions?

Happy New Year,

Thanks for the pointer. Have a feeling I'll be needing a pair this year.

Interesting since this 1 disc covers the Toyota AND the Brembo brake set....and there are some that would say that isn't possible being that 1 was significantly thicker (and ventilated)

On a serious note if you want a decent set of rears at a similar price give EBC's a try, had them on the Elise, GT3 and the SE - grab them from SWLC or SJsportscars.

Not the best discs in the world but perfectly fine for road use.

I don't need rear discs (yet)...but am curious - are rear brake discs unobtainium from Lotus? How about any other 3rd party?

Wot Jon said. I have EBC discs and pads all round, top notch for roads use.
