    GSF A8 323 discs

    Popped into GSF yesterday and the only 323 disc they supply is a vented disc, not drilled or grooved, is this correct? i could have sworn i have heard people talk about them supplying either drilled or grooved a8's? can't find anywhere where they are mentioned. If they don't where is the best place for grooved 323mm's?

    cheers

    i think the Brembo ones are the un-grooved or drilled items. Pretty sure it's the zimmerman ones you want? Not 100% positive though...

        I have bought 2 sets of 314mm A8 discs from GSF, both Zimmermans, both just vented and both on purpose

        Can I ask why you want drilled or grooved discs? Neither are considered better for road cars, in fact both are considered worse for pad wear and no better for cooling or braking efficiency. Therefore most people actually want them either because they think they look better or 'think' they are better.

        My advice would be stick with the vented discs...you'll love them over standard S2 brakes.

          Some have grooves in them depends on stock as i've seen them.

          The things is i dont think it's marked on the system individiually as grooved.

            yeah thats right jamo, they said it doesnt appear as fast road so they cant tell if they are grooved or drilled. and they are to order so dont want to order some in the hope they might be grooved.

            in my experience the grooves help with the pads from becoming glazed and clean them up, plus they do look better.

                I've just ordered the Brembo's with some Textar Boxster S pads.

                They offered me the choice of Zimmerman or Brembos.

                To be honest, I didn't even consider whether they were drilled or grooved.

                I just assumed they were both merely vented.
