Default Hawkeye STI needs new discs - opinions?

Evening guys,
My discs are very close to death so I need some advice on the best upgrade. Scoobyworld seem to stock some good ones and I do like the look of the Black Diamond ones but ideally I just want something that is better than the stock ones.

So, EBC, Tar.Ox, Black Diamond, Brembo?

Cheers!

David, I would go for the Performance Friction deal of Bob's. I've been running these for a year now and been very impressed and great service from Bob.

There are a couple of differences between a 1 and 2 piece disc , firstly they are lighter so you have less unsprung weight , and as the bells are made of alluminium they will dissapate heat quicker so you dont get the heat transfer through to the bearings.
And as the bells are bolted in place , when they heat up and expand , it allows for a small amount of movement between the disc and bell , so will not take the discs out of shape , this makes then nigh on impossible to warp.

We offer a 12 month guarantee anyway on our discs even if you do track days , when compared to others available they are a very cost effective disc , and will perform as good as anything else available

Here's a pic

just replaced my hawkeye brakes, with drilled brembos front and rear. £530 from scoobyparts. Brembo pads at the front and black diamonds on the rears another £200 or so. Still Bedding them in but I feel there is a great deal of improvement over the standard set up. They also come grooved.

cheers

Ian i was looking at Killers brakes at a local meet and he told me you supplied them, they were the 335mm front discs (striaght line grooved, not the curved groove) and they fit on his subaru 4 pots

im wondering if you do the same size and style disc for the brembo set up ( i know its more purpose biuilt then looks ) but killers brakes did look the bollox
