These are actually not bad. Got 40 grooves discs for front and back, plated so they still look new after a year, supplied with ebc red ceramic pads, goodrich hoses and race fluid. Car stops great, much much better than standard and lasted well even with my crazy driving! Sorted.

Hi matey i have from CRN front and rear drilled/grooved.This company have in house CNC machines for drilling/grooving discs and i'm pretty sure this company uses Pagid discs or EBC discs.
And if you are close you can collect yourself and if you are pay cash you can get better deal

Yeh, very pleased with mine. Bargain.

Size depends on your car mate. Check with the seller, they should know. Good luck.

What car/model/year?
294mm are subaru 4 pot fitment, 277mm are 2 pot fronts.
Also bought from these for my pug, no issues
I would personally not go for the drilled discs, they do grooved only.

Hi
I can supply you the same sized discs , 294mm grooved fronts and 266mm grooved rears along with our kevlar fast road pads for £199 delivered , our discs have black painted centres to stop them going rusty , and our pads are a fast road pad , not standard pads as in the link your have put up.

I have these on the shelf ready to go , give me a ring if you wish to order them

Drilled discs can crack with hard driving so its not something I would recommend

Cheers Ian

hi there guys. we would always advise customers to stay away from drilled when possible, as stated they are more prone to cracking, even the drilled discs we have in direct from porsche, mercedes, bmw, renault all tend to crack. we supply them purely as people go for looks over performance and some people are of the opinion they offer better performance.
personally for what its worth i stick to the grooved discs.
Olly.

Couldnt agree more with you. Always only grooved for me! Have seen many drilled cracked discs.

its just down to the cooling process that drilled discs go through, causes hairline cracks.

drilled discs dont usually crack from if they are oem dealer ones reason is they are cast with the holes there, therefore dont have weak points where they have been drilled, CRN do use pagid discs which are top quality, also Godspeed brakes do top products as well. just depends on your requirements what you want,

All i'm saying is that the discs we fit to the porches/bmw's that have the drilled discs on show signs of cracking.
