I have BN7/BT7 rotors on my 100 and want to replace them and the present pads. Is there anything interesting out there beyond the stock replacements--slotted, cross-drilled, etc along with compatible pads?

I went from stock BJ8 set-up to EBC pads and just that alone made a big improvement. Less noise,dust and better deceleration

Michael - while I have yet to have real life experience with these... I think the Fosseway Performance kit is the best out there...IMHO. They are a lightweight 4 piston caliper with vented rotors. It's the only vented rotor Healey upgrades I have found/seen. This is what I have sitting on the shelf for my current build. They are beautiful. Hopefully, they work as well as they look. I'm also converting to a Wilwood dual master cylinder... that's a bit of a task... but since you build race cars, I'm sure you're up for it.

I don't see any slots in that rotor. Do you mean vented?

Duh!...of course Richard you are correct!.... thanks Dougie for setting it straight... vented ..... I've edited the post to correct it.
I should note that you can option from Fosseway vented and slotted, which as you can see from the picture I didn't elect to do.
