Wow, this question has been asked sooooo many times.Grooved STD size discs serve no purpose other than looks & reducing the pad contact area thus reducing stopping power. You say you don't do much heavy braking? Use STD discs & pads then. If you like a blast down the lanes now & again or the occasional track day, use STD discs & Ferodo DS2500 pads. ________________________________________ Get used to seeing the yellow one !!!Team 330™ Team "no front end or engine" Team "LIMITED EDITION" I live for the 306 sticker Team 0-60 in 6.44 & standing qtr in 14.808 @ 94.55mph all with std engine 203bhp Corolla T-Sport daily driver stealthier than Kwai Chang Caine |

Purely standard is the way forward for every day use with the occasional blast. They are more than enough.If you do the odd track day then standard discs with either Mintex 1144/1155's or Ferrodo DS2500 pads accompanied with braided brake lines will give you a very good set up. ________________________________________ Racing driver, fighter pilot, astronaut, compulsive liar. |
