Hi Aston the DBA disc were coated, but think dril disc just looks good and not very good in terms of cooling and has very weak point on the drill bits, I have order a set of new DBA 4000 series disc which can take bit more temperature and also just grooved with no drills so this should resolve it.
I'd avoid the grooved discs as they will wear out your very expensive pads much more quickly.

Cheers Simon for the advice that all Clarks had in stock so just bought it straight away as needed the disc ASAP but I will give a feed back as to how they will run

There aren't many grooves in the DBA4000 discs. I had those discs and they are a very good disc.

They used to come with heat paint pre-applied so you can see what temperature the discs get to.

After 6 hours of hard work and adjustment the Password JDM is on!

But have to say the fitment on this kit is poor take so much effort in order to make it fit most of my time was spent on adjusting the latch for the bonnet to close!

I totally concur!!! A complete mother to fit. Loosening, pushing and tightening!! On the upside, it does pull nicely mid range.

Incidently what strutt brace have you fitted?
