And Dave, that is an attractive rear brake setup, but I have to side with c_w that the grooved ones are less prone to develop stress cracks (ALL rotors can develop stress cracks, the holes just make it easier for them to start). As long as you periodically monitor their condition, you'll be fine. If you do some serious track events, you should monitor them quite often.

I also ordered the parts as shown only to find they aren't needed, there are two bolts which look similar to the ones shown which bolt the bottom of the backplate to the trailing arm but they are shorter than the ones pictured.
The later part number for the other smaller bolts that attach the backplate is the same as the part used on the front wheel backplate but they are not a good fit as the washer is too large so I ended up using the old ones.
A good example of how wrong realoem can be.

This picture show the rear of the hub and lack of the separate part discussed also shows the incorrect fitting of the handbrake cables which should clip into the white holders attached to the petrol tank and onto the rear drop link bracket it should not go through the holes on the rear trailing arms themselves.

The plastic holder seen here which houses the abs and brake wear sensor connectors doesn't appear to be listed under my chassis number on realoem but the part numbers are 61138367936 for the R side and 937 for the L side
