  why would your brakes never warp?

NO mate they are hi spec billet 4's

Hmmm for how much?

that's some nice callipers and wheels you got there mate.

They won't warp as warping occurs from them gettin so hot they deform, and  it would take some good effort to get 340mm discs that hot haha

Thanks! They do turn heads when I pull up for petrol, I'm sure you noticed this too  Two piece floating disks are much better at dissipating heat and allow for rapid expansion/contraction of the disk as it's separate from the mounting disk which allows for a change in size without constriction. If you notice the bolts all the way around the inner section of our yellowish disks they are actually two disks. This means you can use a different alloy on the friction disk from the mounting disk too which helps further with heat dissipation.

It's pretty cool, after any driving if I'm stationery you can hear crackling noises from the disk where it's contracting.

they must have cost a bit   so would vented disc reduce chance of warping i take it as they stay more cool

mintex, brembo

rear pads about £15-18
front pads about £23-27

i doubt the authenticy on the brembos tho  

i can get full set from local shop for about £20 but they are a bag of sh!t

Don't think anyone using two piece disks look forward to replacing the disk, price for replacement friction disk ranges from £250-500 each disk. 
But fortunately, I don't have to worry about mine for quite a while yet.

Yeah not exactly cheap but I think they are necessary for the power I want.

I don't actually know much about break pads but that price for Mintex seems about right but would expect been I ones to be more than that.

Yeah they arnt to cheap found some for about £212 but luckily mine have quite a bit of life left will probably last till I sell the car in a year or two.
