No drama, the rears are the size of bottle caps anyway so I wont notice! I didnt see any drilled and slotted rears. Wouldnt mind slotted only on the front but aesthetically I like them drilled.

I'll let you know how I go

Rotors have arrived, the rears are slotted and the fronts drilled and slotted. The fronts weigh heaps more than the rears but I suppose that stands to reason if they are 50mm or so bigger in diameter, I could work it out if I wasnt maths challenged

The fronts are also a helluva lot thicker than the rears.
No need for maths to work out how much they weight, just plonk them on a set of bathroom scales!
Either that or weigh yourself first then grab a rotor and weigh again and work out the difference.
Warning - that involves maths, albeit just about the simplest possible version called "subtraction".

All fitted. There was some initial vibration but I went through the bedding in process and it is all sorted, now very smooth. They look great and might even have benefits other than aesthetics! Thanks for your help on this.

here you go. It would have been nicer to take it out and put it near the beach or something for an artsy photo, but it is a public holiday here and doing that would involve putting pants on

That reflection on the front bumper (of what I guess is a red MF cloth) makes it look like your poor F-Type cut itself shaving!
Sort of like Norman Gunston (in joke for us Aussies).

Anyway, looks good Bruce and I'm guessing you got the black ones?
If my experience of the same rotors is anything to go by you should find they last twice as long as the OEM rotors.

Cheers, the cloth is blue! Norman Gunston, he was doing his thing and annoying the Americans before Borat (or Ali G) were even born!

Yeah got the black ones. I think I might keep this car long enough to get to a rotor change. They arent scratches on the wheel arch, by the way - just a bit of road crud.
