Just get solid Brembo, cheap even direct from them and are good, run them all round on mine.
Been looking at big brake kits, but they aren't cheap

Grooved tend to eat pads up quicker.

I went solid, yes grooved look cool, but they do chew pads

standard it is then.......mind you, is there any advantage in stopping ie are the disks actually better???
sometimes i think i dont drive it enough to worry about pad wear!! (oh btw im on 80k now haha)

you think there is enough meat on those pads?

when you say solid?.....

Drilled and grooved disks are more suited to a track cars where you will be braking heavily corner after corner. The Benefits I believe are that they dissipate heat quick, therefore you should get less brake fade under heavy loads. Also maybe something about channelling brake dust away for the track pads which give off more 'dust', if you know what I mean.

Standard disks for road use will be more than fine.
