i have been looking through some threads and noticed most of the bigger kits, 310mm and 330mm both use grooved discs. may well try them

any thoughts on best pads aswell? i have been looking at red stuff pads but ther expensive at £122

Have a look at Dennis's thread on his rallye, he's tried most pads, for Track work i'd recommend CL RC 6's but i suppose if cost is an issue they may be a bit much, also IMO £122 for redstuff.... don't even go there i'm pretty sure there's better out there for your money! Wink

yeah but the brake dust off carbon lorraines is scary alien rust blood that welds itself to the sides me the car. Blink when i was running 406 brembos i found pagid rs4 blue very good, but not the cheapest and didn't help with squeal (though not as bad as ds2500). Now i'm on the renaultsport brembo i'm impressed with mintex f6r. Apparently the new ebc blue that people are testing are very good too.

Agreed with the brake dust off the cl's but it's a track car so it never bothered me, but that's why I said to look at dennis's thread!

iirc welly had drilled/grooved discs and it still squeaked

im using Motoquip discs (288mm xantia V6 discs) with DS2500 and they squeek a little, not so bad on hard braking

to be honest mate i found it totally random over the years with my brembos
sometimes they would be quiet for months.... then after a good bit of use start squealing like a tart

Couldn't agree more with this, mine squeal differently from day to day, completely depends on the ambient temperature and conditions.

I run Tarox G88's, and mine still squeal sometimes but nothing like the standard discs did.

mine are fine when breaking at speed, its just when creeping round town and sitting in traffic realy just slow driving in general. when i fitted them they were fine for a few month and ever since then they have been shouting at me ever since.
the warped disk isnt helping at all tho but that is the reason for this thread to try find the best disc to go with.
