« on: 24 August 2009, 20:14 »
Would like some information on the best discs for my 2000,2.0Lt,8v GTI. Anybody out there with any suggestions would be most appreciated!! Not looking to increase size of discs,running standard calipers with EBC green pads.Best type(drilled,vented,etc).Not looking to spend a fortune either if poss! Any suppliers people can recommend.Look forward to any feedback :smiley:

Drilled/grooved discs won't do bugger all apart from look good & wear out your pads quicker.  You're really better off buying cheap discs but spending good money on the pads, in my opinion.  i.e. ~£50 for a set of Red-stuff front pads are good value, IMO.
