Which manufacturer's balance discs?

[gnutz2]

Does anybody know which manufacturer's actually bother to balance their discs before I go ahead and buy a new set? If its oem spec then it should be balanced but I know some don't bother!

I've been running mintex for years and have come to the conclusion that they are the cause of my vibration because they didn't bother to balance! Im running the 323x30mm a8 discs and vibrations start at about 145mph and get pretty bad at 165 so I've not bothered going above that speed.

Tyres have been balanced and it happened with my last set of tyres so im confident they're not the problem.

Pagid seem to balance theirs, you can see them on the outer edges where they have been balanced, my existing A8's have them

I use a Pagid brand, 323X30 A8 rotor as well. The rotors are definitely balanced & show the balance marks on the outer edge. They are also coated & do not rust up as easily as other rotors I have seen.

Sure Brembo do, there are areas machined out of the outer circumference

Thanks for the replies

Spotted some coated pagid discs on eBay for reasonable money.

Another for the Pagid A8 discs, as per Alex's post above.

Some brembos are on their way.

Hopefully I'll test them out on the standing kilometre top speed run at TOTB!

What date is that on?

[gnutz2]

Its on the 30-31st of july, not long!

Its £100 entry and that gains access to Saturday testing as well as racing on sunday. It's three disciplines, top speed, quarter mile and handling.

If the weather holds off it'll be a cracking weekend.

Nice! I still have to do that once with my car. Maybe next year

Can't promise I'll be there either looking at the current state of the car!
