they look a bit cheap , more risk of warping and no warranty , better options are eurocarparts as they often do big discounts on branded discs , mtec are often very good , there is a brake supplier on this site i think it’s called godspeed , or you could post on the ebc brake thread on here and see what he says or advises , i got a pair of front brembo calliper , brembo branded discs from eurocarparts for 155 £ , for road use you don’t need dimpled grooved etc, track use then a maybe better idea or grooved or some type , drilled are more prone to cracking

Euro Car Parts in Aldershot took over 4 days to deliver the 0.9 miles to my door for my Passat bits. Then, no discs...."What discs?" says the Ed Sheeran lookalike delivery driver...
Never made so many calls asking where my stuff is, "It will be with you in half an hour" and that was only day 3 lol

Ed Sheeran was alright though, came straight back with my discs and was very apologetic...so much so I gave him a 4 pack of Peroni, made his day!

Buy cheap buy twice.

Even basic cheap Brembo discs can be a lottery. Put a set on my sons mini, and after a short period he reported brake judder (although that was after having wheel bearing and driveshaft replaced by someone else)

drilled discs aren’t worth it, the discs can’t really take the heat cycles and start to crack around the drilled holes, unless you pay for expensive discs where the holes are properly cast into the disc and not drilled.

Never had a problem with the numerous sets of grooved discs from Godspeed. None have ever warped and I’ve not encountered any brake judder over the ten or so years I’ve used them.

if you dont already have pads to suit the discs, why not give Performance friction Z rated pads a try . No squealing, very little dust.
