 They have 8 grooves in them, After plenty of research and confusion, I finally got hold of something that I was happy with.

Heres a pic of the old pads.



And now the new discs

I have seen grooved discs fitted both ways, but my logic says that fitting them with the groove the other way than yours clean the pads more agressively, or am i wrong??   Daveb???   :confused:

The logical way for fitting was the way we done them as in the pic, i dont think the other way round would work too well, suppose if pov has brake troubles we could try swapping em round.. its a 10 min job now we have done it once lol

The discs need to fitted fitted not according to the grooves, but according to the cooling vanes inside the discs!
