brake dics advse needed

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.

You got them from same people?
I have just messaged them for front & rear

Thanks for that info peeps

Ok which discs did you get then? & how much?

These I think. Was few years back http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GROOVED-BRAKE-DISCS-FRONT-MK3-GOLF-2-8-VR6-288MM-95-97-/180315424359?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AGolf%7CPlat_Gen%3AMK%20III%7CCars%20Type%3A2.8%20VR6&hash=item29fba30667&_uhb=1

Yeah think so. I only got front because you don't need them for rear

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

Utter rubbish.
It's not about top speed...it's about how hard you use them, and how hot you get them.

[Ess_Three]

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.

Also utter rubbish.
I love the missinf-ormation on this forum.

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

Yes...
If you get good pads hot enough...or use crap pads.

i will be getting grooved black diamonds again soon. i had some on my old 1.4 along with black diamond pads and the difference with the standard ones it had on before was unbelievable.

and that was a 1.4! defiantly not super powerful and never got close to 150mph

[sharki786]

Defo getting grooved then. Cant afford black diamonds

So what is this gas?
Does it actually form a barrier between the disc and pad?
