Re: Brake discs

drilling and grooving does make a difference. The question is if it's worth the price difference...

when you have had "warping" or squealing issues, grooved discs can be the answer, and some manufacturers now fit grooved discs to cure these issues on some models (it's the standard discs with 6-8 grooves machined into them, had to have it done a few times now for customers)

Re: Brake discs

if you get a good deal on them then go for it look a bit more sporty as well

they may dissperse heat a bit better than the standard part so could be benificial on track days etc. but your dics are vented anyway so you would have to be using them either very hard or alot to get any benefit imo. always get the best pads though

Re: Brake discs

pads do make the biggest difference, but the pads compound can be so hard sometimes they will mince up the OEM discs and they will warp very quickly.....
