Hello to all and hope you had a sane xmas...I have had to change all four discs and pads ..shudder on the fronts at 50mph and the rears due to low pads scoring the discs. I have upgraded to these in the link with black diamond fast rd pads. Ill bed them in and keep you informed if they are any good. Im hoping they will be a decent upgrade. All in less than £200. Will take some pictures of the brakes being fitted but not sure how to up load to the site !!

keep us informed mate, i would like some myself, and i am sure they will help braking performance, but i'm sure i read somewhere here?, not to use drilled and grooved disks, i do hope im wrong, but i am eager for a set too,
looking forward to your findings.

i read that to..i did email some other ppl of ebay who put them on st200 s and v6 cossies and so far seems ok.. they look and feel very heavy..the quality is hard to see if they ll be same as ford vented..the pads are serious proven quality though so no worries i shld hope with them. Its all about how will these disks perform.. i put a mid price set on my sierra cosworth years back and was so impressed with the stopping power once on..have u any feedback on how to put the photos on the site from the brake change time will tell they going on next week and will bed them in and let u no.

I hope your gonna paint your calipers ?
With those open wheels and nice new discs those rusty calipers will sure spoil the look.
I'm told by these fast hatchback young whippersnappers that Hammertite is " well good " .

Well I use drilled brakes with no problems & don't know anyone who has had problems.
Drilled brakes are good for hard breaking every now & then like you do on the road, undrilled brakes are better on the track thow as that is constant hard breaking.
All to do with friction blah blah blah . . . .
Any way here is mine
