Iv got a 1.8 K Series, not under the bonnet though under the boot lid, in my Elise, and that thing stops like an absolute ******* probly weighs as much as that V12 engine!

Do you have to remove the hub to change the discs or are they held in place with the small screw as mine are ready for changing,cheers guys.I'm thinking of the slotted/drilled discs with ebc greenstuff pads as replacement.
DoubleTop:
no you don't need to remove the hub, it's a pretty easy job to do.
Remove the 2 bolts holding the caliper to the hub, release the caliper and then secure it using bungees/ratchet strap to prevent pulling on the brake lines. Remove the two screws and then give it a gentle tap from behind to knock the disc off. the screws can be quite tight and it is very possible to take the head off them (yes I did), so worth at the point a squirt of wd40 and go get a cuppa :D
When changing the pads, remember to undo the little bleed screw when you push the piston back in, other than that once you've the caliper in your hand it's pretty obvious what you need to undo etc.

I have to recommend EBC discs & pads, very effective over the standard setup.
