	Series 2 Elises are fitted with 288mm vented iron discs.		Series 2 Elises are fitted with 288mm vented iron discs. 308mm 4 piston AP Racing brakes were on option on the Exige S240 and S260.

	The discs on the S2 are different from those one the S1. This is due to the S1 iron discs being a copy of the original MMC discs and therefore an uncoventional size. S2's were shipped as standard with plain discs, with cross drilled versions being available as an option. Later S2's were shipped with the cross drilled discs as standard.

	The surface of the disks are solid, however they are internally vented to aid cooling. As the disk rotates at speed, centrifugal forces act on the air inside the vanes, forcing it outwards from the center. This action then draws fresh, cooler, air from the center of the disc through the internal vanes and out through the holes in the edges.
