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 !!!

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. |
