We are having a group buy at the moment and can supply you our grooved discs for £75 a pair , these come with a 12 month guarantee against warping even if you do track days.
I can recommend pads , whats the car used for , bit of hard driving now and again , hard road use , any track days planned ?

Cheers Ian

Hi Ian

Thanks for your reply,that sounds like a good deal on your discs at the moment,what pads would you recommend? i use the car for commuting and yes the occasional blast!!no track days,the discs i have at the moment are not good at high temps and seem to fade,what are your's like both from cold and when hot?also how long will the GB be on for?

Regards

Nick.

HI Nick
Its not your discs that are causing the fading , its the pads , discs dont make any difference to the braking wether they are hot or cold , its the pads , if you have standard pads in they will be fine cold and warm , but will fade when pushing on , its always a compromise with pads , as above a standard pad would be suitable for most of the time , but not when giving it some stick , again a high performance pad would be better at the higher ranges but might not be good round town , there are some good all round pads such as the Ferodo DS2500's which will take some abuse on the track , but they are not cheap , good pads start at £150 a set upwards .

We offer a kevlar spec pad which is the first step up from standard , these work perfect from cold , make no noises , squeeling ect , and will work better than a standard pad when having the 'occasional blast' , but would be no good for track days , these are £65 a set
P&P is £12
The group buy will be on through january

Hope this helps

Cheers Ian

My car stops on Ian's stuff, I love the Kevlar pads, and am on my second set of discs from him. The first lot wore out after about 5 years
