drilled and grooved brake discs

[RobbieV]

The grooves won't make it grip any better they just help to deglaze the pad better and the holes help to disperse the gases and heat generated by the pads and discs.

oh right ok. spose it dont matter witch way they go then.

[RobbieV]

Put them on which ever way please's you [img]/smile.gif[/img]

marks are right, thats what i was told when i brought mine, groove meets outside edge of the pad first

[stainesy]

thought so

I've had Mintex pads before and although they stop well I got loads more brake dust than normal and they ruined a set of disks in a year

[stainesy]

great iv already bought them now

[andy1]

if the discs are going the way marks do, they are bound to collect a lot of brake dust and crap of the road as they are traviling grove forward, where if they are traviling grove facing away from road they will throw the dust out of the grove, just my logic

[Phantom]

I'm not trying to put you off from buying them but be aware you might be changing pads and disks again a lot sooner than you thought

[stainesy]

well iv already bought them now so i may as well use them. not that bothered bout the dust. nothing a good wheel clean cant sort out.

Iv'e always stuck with EBC pads,never had any problems with them.

I opted for the standard Vaux pads and uprated the discs to drilled and grooved. Once bedded in, they are awsome!!!

Makes the oddest noise when braking though as the pad runs over the grooves lol.
