Question New Brake Discs+Pads Blobeye STI, Which Ones?

Looking to buy new brake discs and pads for my 03 STI. I was looking at Black Diamond drilled and grooved discs and Black Diamond Predator fast road pads. Has anyone had these on their car and are they any good. If not what do you recomend.

As above, from what i've read/been told the Peformance Friction stuff is what you need.

I'm just trying to sort out a good price on the disc's, but i've managed to get the pads at £100 + delivery inc vat, price was good for pads if i bought more than 1 set, so i've got 4 sets coming, if you want a set let me know, sure we can sort something out.

This is prob the best value/performance for money brake upgrade currently available:-

https://www.scoobynet.com/group-buys...kit-799-a.html

Can fit the optional PF pads too! (or DS2500). The PFs require the paint on the back sanded off to get in the calipers. But if you read through, you'll read that the TA winner/Subaru mapper dynamix, and others, rate the K-Sport calipers/discs and the PF pads combo as being fantastic, etc.

330mm discs for >/= 17" alloys; 356mm for >/= 18"

A few options worth considering AZTEC PERFORMANCE ONLINE STORE - WHOLESALE PRICES DIRECT TO THE PUBLIC

2 Piece PF may be overkill for normal to fast road use, but are awesome on track.

We are currently doing a fast road set of discs and pads for just £149.99 delivered this weekend !

The PFs are perfect for fast road use, no real warming up needed, no fade (or I'm not trying hard enough) and the added bonus is that they seem to last a very very very long time.
There may be cheaper combos on the market, but you'll be paying for another set or two before the PFs wear out.
