Want to upgrade my discs to grooved and drilled simply because they look good, brakes on now are good enough for what I need,I don't take car on track or go boy race

Only heard good things about zimmermann but Google and read. Ebc red are good on dust and performance, Ebc yellow perform a lot better but create more dust, again Google and decide what's best for you. Lastly I've had drilled and groved discs without issue but many say they will eventually crack.

No point wasting money on fancy pads if your not driving silly and are happy with the current performance.

Get a new set of standard brake pads from Textar or Ferodo or whoever, and buy the drilled disks to give you the look you want.

MTEC stuff has a decent reputation:

Would this still give me same stopping distance as oem discs?
Thanks

I just got these Zimmermann front discs. With the Z coating they put on they look nice and they say the hub wont rust up... suppose time will tell. £145 delivered.
