Hi chaps,
Our 14" Syncro has 15" wheels and a recent TDi conversion, but is running the stock 14" JX brake setup.
Whilst driving in the Alps we had smoking front brake discs and a bit of brake fade. Would these be a reasonable upgrade to the stock 14" discs?

Are they the same as

?(plus the 5% club discount)
If so, I'm sure Mr Baxter would even press in the new bearings for you if you asked nicely
