Those discs + Green Stuff pads in my experience are shite. When they get warm they get worse too...Nearly had an additional part to my car when a mate came hurtling towards me with that combo. Standard Vented Brembo Discs from GSF and Green Stuff pads are awesome. |

I've used the grooved only version of those discs before, and with DS2500s too. They were okay, but I won't be using them again. They wore a little too quickly for my liking and the grooves weren't deep enough, IMO. ________________________________________ Rich |

I've heard some horror stories about drilled rotors. Namely that the edges where they've been drilled are prone to cracking when they get hot.________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

Are they really that bad? The 6 I got last week came with Greenstuff pads and drilled / grooved discs. Now I know they dont seem to get a good rating on forums but they stop one hell of a lot better than the 266 setup on the HDi, and that had new feredo pads, cant remember the disc manufacturer but they were new too. |

Never had a problem with the DS2500s either. They do make a fair bit of dust, however if bedded in using the method in the pad box (heat cycling) then they work great. Get them from Demon Tweeks and on the phone mention this site and you should get a decent discount too ________________________________________ China Blue 306GTI-6 Ph3 Team Now Bikeless |

Yeah that's how they get round it, but it's created a sporty image of what good brakes look like, so joe public has gone and started putting cheapo drilled ones on his car and they fail.________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |
