Check the specifications, ie look at the technical datasheet of the disc and see what material is used to manufacture the discs and get someone who is familiar with metals to tell you what the differences in resistance / heat absorption etc are.

Some retailers / manufacturers do not give out this information. For obvious reasons... dont buy their discs.

LOL you can conclude that from the technical specifications. You surely know that since you sell discs, or dont you?

Obviously he wants real world expieriences or he would have just phoned TSL or Ian direct!!!

I have the Godspeed kit and 'am very happy with it (though I haven't used the grp N disks from TSL)
I have herd good things about TSL grp N's and would trust their judgement in selling a decent product.

The obvious advantage (apart from size) of the Godspeeds is the separate bell

Cool

Would go with the last comment, I've just had a 325mm kit fitted at Godspeed, and apart from looking awesome they perform 150% better than my previous setup--at least.
Don't know about the TSL ones, but would again agree with a previous comment:TSL have a good reputation and have seen me right in other matters.
You pays your money.....- I went for Godspeed for the looks and the size!

Be careful with the TSL set up, I know at least 2 people who have paid over £450 for this set up PLUS VAT (Paul) and have warped the disks through normal fast road driving on going back to Graham at TSL he's blaming it on the purchaser

Not good in my opinion.

Alcazar - A little off the topic but would you not fit brakes for their performance, not how they look !!!!!

Whats the point of them looking nice and not stopping you in time.......
