Drilled discs and good pads

Dont buy drilled discs, they crack. Get grooved so the pads can "gas off".
Buy decent pads, i import CL, but Pagid, and Ferodo make decent stuff too.
Look to spend in excess of £100 for anything decent, they will pay you back in performance and longevity.
Where can I find grooved discs from? I've just found the drilled ones on tvr power but no sign of any groovedBuy decent pads, i import CL, but Pagid, and Ferodo make decent stuff too.

What discs have you currently got?
There are loads of old threads giving you options but it depends where you are starting from.
Yeah, Like mine and MadMark'sThere are loads of old threads giving you options but it depends where you are starting from.
My drilled discs had done 70K and were twice their normal wear limit - and No Cracks
{ but then again, I am a puff when it comes to braking
)IF you have standard brakes, you may be limited to drilled.
I have had to replace my rears with drilled as thats all i could get and they are a RIP OFF, £450 a pair, considering BMW discs with internal drum can be sourced <£100.
I am looking at alternatives for these.
My last drilled rears cracked and split like a small piece of pizza had been cut out of them!
If you can avoid drilled then do so.

These look dimpled rather than drilled, but they are still £400 a pairI have had to replace my rears with drilled as thats all i could get and they are a RIP OFF, £450 a pair, considering BMW discs with internal drum can be sourced <£100.

What issues do you have with the standards? Are they original 4.2 standards? What pads? Are they worn out?
No real issues with standards just want to make the brakes abit better if possible, not sure what pads are in at the minute as just picked the car up today but there not the best so definitely need new pads inEdited by suprarich on Sunday 8th July 01:21

The 3 letter brand just does not cut it.
My Sag had EBC Red Stuff pads on it, done about 12,000 on them, and they seemed 'ok' at best, never giving any real bite unless warm. Had the discs skimmed, as I think the pads caused uneven disc wear, and standard TVR pads fitted (which are now identical to Ferodo DS2500).... Braking is transformed.Don't waste your money on inferior pads.
