PaRtZ Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 My pads have worn down to the backing and pitted the disc, so I need to replace them. Was looking on the EBC website at grooved discs and I can see they cool the pads down, but braking wise, are they actually worth buying? I need an answer pretty quick, as Im leaving now to get them, but should I go for standard "flat" discs or these grooved ones? Please don't suggest other makes/models as Im aware there are better out there, im just a bit short on money at the moment Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_seamons Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 I upgraded form standard discs to drilled and grooved on my Astra, and the difference was immense, I would 100% recommend it! What car is it for? I found EBC's were pretty expensive. There is a bloke on ebay that takes normal OEM discs (good quality ones...can't remember the name though), and gets them machined to what you see on the EBC ones. I bought 4 discs off this bloke, and they never let me down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolfa Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Grooved, drilled and vented discs are SO good! My old car (which had them obviously) would slow down faster than a fast thing, and make a stunning sound under hard braking aswell The grooved and vented (not drilled) discs I have on my current car, are pretty poor in comparison, and don't make the cool sound either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomR Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 I've got some grooved vented 308's on my astra, well worth it IMO. I've got BlackDiamon discs and Black Diamond Predator pads, which are very well rated and cheaper than EBC's too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
