Which discs would people reccomend?

Currently looking at:

EBC Dimpled and grooved discs with green stuff pads.

or

Black Diamond grooved discs with predator pads.

a good make is black diamond, but i have seen a few good reviews for green stuff pads.

I found Red Dot pads to be good, and am currently on Pagid Blues, which are supposed to be excellent, though I haven't had a chance to bed them in yet.
Disc wise I am on 3G RS10s, which again are supposed to be excellent.
Green Stuff may be OK on a smaller car, but apparently the Coupe destroys them pretty quickly.

Funnily enough, just done this on the Stilo - I had over-whelming advice, which was much appreciated, but left me none the wiser!

So I ended up with the EBC Turbo-grooves [grooved, with dimples], and the Green stuff pads - only had them fitted them last night, so still bedding them in - lets hope I made the right choice

H, Those the brakes fitted by Paul? Might have seen your old ones piled up in his garage! Was paul who reccomended that I get new discs and pads since the left wheel is only using 1/2 the disc Going though pads isn't too bad - going through 100 quid+ discs each change of pads is though!

Really interested in how your EBC's perform Stu, for me they would be 155 delivered or if I go for the black diamonds I'm looking at 195. Although would then have some super poser style black discs.. carbon stylee!

should be fitting red dot grooved discs and mintex pads soon on my turbo cinq with punto gt calipers so i'll let you know how they perform if you havent bought by then

i put red dots in mine a few months back, on normal new disks, looked at pads through the gap in wheels a few days ago an they going to need replacing again soon already thats on an auto though, should last longer in a manual

Did you use crayons or felt tips?

should still last better than on an auto no engine braking on an auto, even with turbo manual you can use the gears to save brake wear

Only if you want to

As Stu said subject just been posted I used grooved& dimpled on the front EBC and grooved/drilled on rear and fr/rr EBC pads massive improvment

These be the daddy?

what pads are you getting? i recommend Tarox Strada 112 pads. this is what the website says about them...

"These pads are ideal for fast road use and every day driving. They work from cold and provide immediate response without pre-heating like an O.E pad but at the same time offer a higher coefficient of friction for improved braking power, improved resistance to high temperatures and a longer service life than O.E materials. Provides excellent pedal feel and allows full control over braking for the driver. Able to withstand temperatures of up to 600°C this pad has an optimum temperature range of 150°C to 200°C, for best results do not exceed disc temperature of app. 400°C".

for details have a look here www.tarox.com

Thinking of getting the Black Diamond Predator pads - I get 15% off them when I buy the discs.

Can't really afford the Tarox pads and discs.. Maybe when I get a coupe.

Currently have standard discs with green stuff on the rear, and on the front Drilled Discs with Black Dimond pads

What brand front discs do you use Mr Moose?

anyone see a problem with the 'special offer' price on the 2.0 16v discs?

Indeed... I have them if you press the brakes too hard you do a front flip in your car

Well they are ordered along with Predator pads. Delivered before christmas hopefully and i'll know what they are like by new year.
