Hello to all

I was wondering what kind of brake disc do you use in your formulas, last year we used the disc of a ford focus and they worked very well, but the were to big and heavy. A friend of the london university told me that i can use scooters disc in order to brake our car.

Could somebody tell me what size of disc do you use in your car and what kind of disc ae they???

Thanks a lot and the best luck to you all. see ya
