brake dics advse needed

[sharki786]

Need to do my braking VERY soon. I got my rear yellow stuff pads just need to get my fronts now. But  thing is that i need some good discs i want grooved discs as i have them on nw & im very happy with them. I have seen sone black diamond on ebay but just the fronts are 125 then i have the rears to sort aswell. But then again on ebay there is a grooved discs (fronts) for under 90 is it worth me getting black diamond or not?

Thanks

Unless your car is super powerful and goes at over 150mph then you really dont need grooved discs!

Grooved discs will wear your pads much faster, one of their functions is to grate the face to keep it clean and de-glazed. Just get some quality standard discs alongside your yellowstuff pads and you'll be good for fast road use.

Well i have had these for 4 years without a problemo

You are actually losing braking performance with grooved discs as the surface area is less!
Grooved or crossdrilled discs are only meant to be used with twin pot (or more pot) calipers.

But hey if you want to pay £50 a disc more just for scene points........

Ok point taken. Recommend me some discs then plz

But dont you get gas build up on non grooved discs?

I noticed less fade when I swapped from standard to grooved.

Also you can get smooth grooves so infact they don't cut the pad.

I would get them again.

If you like to drive fast and use the brake hard then get grooved. Defiantly helped my brake fade.
