Default Some opinions from those with grooved discs please

Well, I have a set of rota GRA's waiting to be shod and I'm thinking that when I do the wheel swap and thorough calliper clean up, maybe it might be a good time to put some grooved discs on the car to compliment the wheels. I read here a couple of times that the discs from Godspeed brakes are a decent product. My question being, is there any feedback from the grooves in the discs under mild braking around town? Or do they feel as smooth under gentle braking as the plain Jane discs? Also further opinions re: the Godspeed grooved discs would help me decide. I'll obviously be fitting new pads at the same time.
Many thanks

Tim

hi
had my godspeed discs on for about 400 miles now
just as quiet as normal discs.
quality is good.
pads are a little dusty but i came from old redstuffs
that didn't stop me, so its a small price to pay as these are a lot better.

Grooved are fine, avoid drilled ones though.

They can be a bit noisy when they get very hot though.

Thanks Guys, I am looking at the ones on the Godspeed site which have six grooves. Do the rear discs come off as easy as the fronts?

Thanks for the link rutt, that's taken the surprises out of the job lol, and will help me get everything together before tackling the swap over, thanks.
