To be honest, they're not worth bothering with, they are the same thickness as the standard discs, and very likely to be almost the same diameter. Braking force will remain the same.

Its the thickness that's the main issue in my opinion. There is less material for the heat dissipate in to.

I've never had much issues with the standard brakes accept they just don't have good stamina. I would be very concerned on using them heavily for track use.

I have the 30mm thick S14/Z32 discs on mine, just need to make up my prop to get the car on the road to test things out.

After ironing issues out with the car, I will very likely be upgrading the brakes to M3 discs (315mmx30mm).

But back on topic a little, would be interesting to know whether or not the S13 discs used on the front of the S12 hub would result in the correct offset of the disc though...
