I fancy getting some new discs, after some cross drilled and / or grooved, if l'm honest its for the look rather than needing them.

Don't want to change calipers or anything.
any recommendations ? :?:
and where I can get some for decent price :?:

Just fitted turbo groove discs all round, plus red stuff matching pads. Fantastic, can't believe the difference. Got from Osaka

Try "godspeed engineering" aswell :wink:

I got drilled/grooed with redstuffs - did 2 trackdays and probably 9k miles the pads were only recently changed with no problems of "eating" the discs or lasting only a few k miles :D

might be worth trying a performance friction upgrade. a few of us have this on the evos, uses the brembo calipers and seems to work very well :wink:

I've got the TurboGroove discs all round with Red Stuff Ceramic pads and the difference is noticable. I also upgraded the brake fluid to AP Racing dot 5.1.

I'm considering trying Ferrodo DS2500's next time I fit new discs, as the RedStuff's seem to chew the disc up pretty bad, although they do stop you well. I go through two sets of pads to one disc.

Anyone else running DS2500's on TurboGroove discs?

Cheers

Anders

Is the boost controller to change from a norm to 1.7 then when on "spirited" driving? Should see over the 350bhp fig 8)

Most on here did'nt run that much boost or a controller - max boost being 1.6"tops" with the odd spike in lower gears to 1.65 from memory slowly tailing off to 1.4.
