Green stuff and they only do plain rotors unfortunately but subject to getting braided lines and high temp fluid it's stopping harder than it ever has.

Great I'll give them a try on my disks and see where we don't go as it were, cheers.

On other news, I ordered the Quaife ATB differential today along with a front wheel bearing that was advised on MOT, they will be delivered on Monday. I am now on the hunt for someone to fit the diff, I can't swing the spanners anymore.

I was offered a 20% discount on my next order from JB in recompense for a delay in a previous order, I thought they'd duck out with it being on a new bought-in item but they held true and I managed to get 20% on an £850 order. Chuffed to bits and a little closer to finding the £2-300 needed to fit the diff.

The bearing and a small rust patch are being sorted on Wednesday but it's a small garage that doesn't take big mechanical jobs. I do have a couple of local transmission shops, so all is not lost.

If anybody has good experience of building differentials and could do the job, please feel free to get in touch. I'd rather see the money go to an enthusiast than a garage.

If you have genuine Suzuki rotors be prepared for the green stuff pads to beat the daylights out of the disks. The ebc rotors seems to be possibly a better match but they only have a couple of thousand miles on them so experience is limited.
