    Big Reds brake disks

    Just a quick question -

    What are people using for brake disks on these conversions, I need to source a pair of A8 disks, 314mm diameter for my S2, which is running with the standard avus 16" wheels.
    I need to know some part numbers ideally, and also, is it worth going down the drilled, drilled and grooved, grooved route. Or are they good enough in standard form.
    Thank's in advance.

    Gonna get in before anyone else here and say 'search the forum' there is loads on this on here already. The discs are expensive drilled and grooved and personally don't think its worth itas they wear funny

              Just to add my tuppence-worth, don't bother with paying to x-drill discs, it's a complete waste of time, money and doesn't do anythign to improve braking function, in fact it can worsen it...

              Also, get Ferodo DS2500 pads, you won't regret it!

              Oh, and use the search! (I was guilty of not doing that yesterday and got my telling off from Jamo )
