Brake disc choice

[andyy]

Evening all

Just about to replace the front brake discs on my Griff 500 and i'm spoilt for choice!
I'm sticking with the standard setup
Has anyone got any preferences for or against the following: original Ford, Brembo, ATE, Delphi, Febi Bilstein.
Or any other suggestions?
Or isn't it going to make much difference?

Thanks Andy

For general driving and the odd bit of speed slow down I don't think there is much noticeable difference with stock fitted discs, however very easy to upgrade with larger dia stock Ford discs and appropriate calipers

I'll probably look at upgrading the brakes sometime in the future but just want to get of wheel vibration when braking at the moment!

May as well stick with Ford then - they work on Sierras!!

Cheers Andy

I've gone with Alfa 'BIG' Brembo's and Focus ST 324mm discs, under 17" wheels...

324mm bells and rotors with Brembo 4 pots on the front and the 300mm reyland bells and rotors on the rear.
They all work together very well 😊

All the right bits including the excellent Bilstien suspension and soooo clean too

It's a masterpiece

For what its worth, as I haven't fitted them yet, I've gone with keeping them standard, but have a set of Carbon Lorraine pads from Bummie and grooved Nitrac disks with their hardening and blacking treatment. Logic behind being firstly; unsprung weight, as I feel this is important to the cars feel and not forgetting cost. I see it that this set up should give me fantastic sustained braking ability on track whilst maintaining the original spec - not to mention cheaper option.

I know big set ups look sexy though
