Looking to upgrade

[sianny]

Hiya!

Looking to upgrade my discs to either drilled, grooved, or both. Any recommendations?

 

Also looking for new pads

 

Thanks

Very happy with my Mtecs (a trader on here)

 

Pads will come down to your driving, i.e any trackdays etc?

No track days, just my daily commute along the a55

I really wouldnt bother with drilled/grooved or dimpled then Just go std on pads and discs

I'm also happy with mine. I believe they're the OEM discs rebranded (and drilled/grooved etc if that option's selected)

I went with the standard brembo pads. Came as a deal from mtec on ebay. At the time it was £300 all in!

 

If you really want to 'upgrade', drilled discs will crack sooner so I would go dimpled and grooved. They look class too.

 

Plenty of threads on here about which brake pads to use for what etc

I have fitted MTEC drilled and grooved discs. Combined with Ferodo Premier FDB1561 front and FDB1562 rear pads.

There is a noticeable improvement over the stock Brembos for road use with good initial bite and progressive braking power, wet or dry.

They look good too.

 

I never had a problem with drilled discs cracking in my racing days, and I'm not worried about it now.

Mercedes fit drilled discs to their SLK sports cars, so I guess they don't consider cracking a problem either.

+1 here for the mtecs! Have them on mine with minted pads. Came to under £250 all in buying from different traders online

If these are the same as what MTEC are selling on their site then this seems a good price for all around the car considering it comes with a set of pads.

Without even shopping around that seems decent.
