Well thought id do a small review! Razz

Fitted the Rossini disks and the "performance" pads that are available form carparts-direct.

They are very well priced for what you are getting to be honest they are a bargin.
Looks well they do look smart especialy with a painted caliper and tidy set of cyclones (which mine arnt but there you go lol) and the rossini wear marker on each disk look good to Smile

But performance is what counts with brakes. As youd suspect with a new set of pad and disks allround they feel realy sharp and strong but even after a few weeks and a lot of hard braking they still feel good as new if not better.
They are very vell balanced dont cause any anoying vibrations or stupid sounds, in fact you cant hear a thing from them.
The holes and grooves do their job and brake fade is a thing of the past.

Overall i would highly recommend these to anyone with the standard calliper set up. Very good upgrade, good value for money and you will feel confident evrey time you brake. Big grin

    guy at my local auto factors tried to convince me about these and raved about them. Thought i'd read up on them before splashing the cash. Cheers for the info mate.

    Each to their own, but for that price i'd get the standard setup from Peugeot, it'll be cheaper, you won't have nightmares about the discs cracking around the holes and you know it will work cold and hot.

    Its not like they are known for having crap brakes as standard is it?! If you are getting the standard brakes to go off on the road then you're going too fast or braking too much.

    Aren't these a standard disc with a name and some grooves machined into them? If they are how can they be an upgrade?
