<!--coloro:black--><span style="color:black"><!--/coloro-->do drilled and grooved discs make any diferance compared to standard ones?<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->
and are mintex pads any good?

[Mark1]

Mintex pads are good, the grooves and holes will help to keep the disc surface cool and stop the pads from glazing over and so help braking.

nice1 cheers mate. getting the discs and pads for £60. i thought that was a bargain.
when i put them on is there a way that the grooves are ment to go.
i mean should the grooves face forwards or backward?

[RobbieV]

Mine face the other way to Mark's.

[stainesy]

[RobbieV]

Prefer my way as it looks like the discs are going the right way ;0

[stainesy]

i got a feeling mark1 has them the right way as it looks like the grooves will grip better when braking.
