Seem excellent VFM!

Cupra needs new brakes ... and I wasn't too impressed with the CRN discs... hence looking around ATM.

 

[john_tdi]

crn discs are rubbish arnt they.

They dont look like the brembo sport hp pads, just look like a stock pad to me. I just bought the brembo sport hp pads and they were 90ish quid alone.

I'm using nitrac grooved discs and can't fault them.

I wouldnt buy drilled discs as they will more than likely crack too.

I bet they are just cheapo discs they have just drilled/grooved themselves.

Buy cheap buy twice I recon mate.

Where did you get Nitracs? - I've had them before and been excellent!

Went onto Eurocarparts to price up discs and pads - 312mm Pagid discs and pads are £98.05 after using the 'PARTS25' code.

Then went to www.carparts4less.co.uk and priced the same parts - this time £85.94 after using the "CP10LESS" code.

CP4L are a sister company to ECP, just that they don't have anywhere to take stuff back to if its wrong

Ahh, hadn't realised you were after grooved ones

Not managed to find those grooved Pagids anywhere? Not listed on Pagid's site either. They used to do an 8-groove one as well....

They are bedded in know with EBC Yellowstuff pads and the combo is amazing. Im only used to OE discs + TRW pads and its a major difference. Almost unbelievable!

No good to me if cant source them...

Nope no luck at all ...

Only options so far are:

Brembo Max Discs (OE replacement not an upgrade)
Nitrax Grooved Discs (expensive at nearly £200)
EBC Ultimax (I'm not a fan of EBC discs)

 

[Mr OCD]

Anything else to consider?

 

[Kambo]

Anything else to consider?

Solid discs, no holes

More pad to disc contact area, cross drilled discs look good to sell but the one with the more contact area will help you stop better when needed

 

[kevinking2020]

I'm going to try these when i get some money so will let you know what there like.

still deciding which pads to get.

Ok maybe its just me but I won't put cross drilled discs on my car, grooved yes but not cross drilled

If you've been in a car where a disc has snapped due to cheap cross drilled discs you'll understand, this was on a track car and I was a passenger

Yes they look good if your into that maccy d's car park sh!te but in all honesty you are much better off just getting grooved ones as anything that has been drilled into is a just asking for trouble when its going to be getting hot and cold constantly, it just makes it a serious weak point for what you are asking, look at the price and its on ebay?

Hey its only brakes...

 

[lc_allan]

Contact Bill, he'll supply standard OEM disks and groove them for you

agreed. drilled discs crack, simple...

Even good quality drilled discs can crack, let alone a cheapo one.

Drilled discs save weight for hill sprints etc.

I had a set of ECS's 2-piece drilled and grooved discs and they cracked, shame as they saved a fair bit of weight over stock discs. And cost a fortune to replace...

Mr OCD, you could ask Awesome if they can get a hold of these?

Just another option...
