Title: discs
Post by: jamma on March 14, 2014, 04:41:49 pm

Car has done 110,000 miles now and its time to change the discs. Can anyone recommend any or shall I just go OEM?

Do cross drilled discs perform any better ? I know they look better .

any advice and prices approx?

cheers

what sort of driver are you? like to do any track days?

for me, I just replace with OEM solid discs. I do drive hard enough to worry about brake fade or heat dissipation

If Im feeling flush I would upgrade to a brembo or Tarox solid which are around £200 for fronts I think.

Drilled do look nice though!

Hi - no I dont do track days. I just do normal driving . It's stage one so maybe get something a little better than OEM

cheers
