As for pads I use green stuff all round with no problems

Any benefit for grooved discs,or stay with standard for fast road use

I recommend Black Diamond disks - they have added a real wow factor to my brakes on track.

Part number please

Not sure on part numbers but you want the Sierra Cosworth two wheel drive discs NOT the ones from a 4x4.

The ones i linked to earlier on are the correct ones.

Personally for road use i would just go for plain discs, anything else is just for looks imo.

Have you tried your local motor factors, i know when i did mine last year, mine still had the discs in stock.

Appreciated thanks

They look good Mark ... Are they the ones I sent you up?

I just use normal road pads in mine ... for everyday use they work well and the Tiv is light enough that they don't wear much anyway. I replaced my pads a couple of months ago after probably 50,000 miles and four and a half years and they still had *LOADS* of meat left on them...

Yes Phil,cocked up as didnt take a before pic!

[CHIMV8]

Going to buy the standard MINTEX pads,seems the best option for normal and fast road use
