Mine are from Formula Dynamics and they’re the dog’s bollox. I use them with EBC Yellow stuff pads. Unlike the factory setup, when you press the brake pedal, the car stops. It’s brilliant!
Was getting them from the US a hassle free process?

Larini are the distributors. FD are also easy to deal with direct, good guys.
So, after a bit of digging about it turns out FD use OEM Maserati discs. The OEM discs have shot up in price since December and apparently fluctuate a bit depending on production cycles + factory stock.
A shame I didn't pick them up for £800 a pair a month ago... They are now 3-400 more than that!
On a related note, I can't believe that there are still no aftermarket alternatives. Anyone have the OEM disc dimensions?
I'm sure some Porsche's have the same size Brembo discs at half that price, you might have to re drill the mounting holes though
Lets face it Maserati just buy in Brembo brake kits to suite and then get them to stick maser stickers on the calipers, just like Jag do!

There is a great thread over on maserati life of a chap who strips an early mc shift for track use. Lovely stuff. He buys off the shelf brembo cc disks and calipers, and has the 'hats' machined. Great looking job. But he had problems with the servo, and needed the stradale version to modulate the new brakes correctly. Not sure he ever did that bit too. .
Quite a task!
Matt at Giallo had some made some time ago. If there's enough interest, maybe he'd get some more made?

I put the FD discs, braided lines and Kevlar pads on my GranSport a few years ago - made a huge difference over what was originally fitted / or fitted by previous owners.
I bet. FD don't make discs for the GT 4.7 though, they use OEM parts.

They still advertise them on their website. They don't look stock.
