While the car was in for it's MOT today I noticed that the brake discs looked a bit rusty all round so I would like to treat her to 4 new discs and a new set of pads.

The questions now are :-
What car are the V8 discs off, any sizes/offsets or part numbers?

Has anyone bought any discs recently from a supplier that they'd recommend?

Is it worthwhile going for drilled and/or grooved discs?

What pads are good for a light upgrade with normal road use?

Any help gratefully received.

Bob

Ford Sierra discs.
Click on the 'this forum ' link above then select show faq's you should find what you need in there.
No joy there, a couple of posts on the brake flexi hose sets but nothing on the discs and pads for a V8S.
Alternative parts list shows front discs & pads but rear drums and shoes.
Are the brakes common with the early Grif's?
Are the rear discs off Granada or a Cosworth Sierra?
