Question Advise on disc upgrade for MY99

Hi all

Just after some opinions on upgraded brake discs really. I know that a lot of it comes down to personal preference, but what front discs would people recommend?

I already have Ferodo DS2500 pads, so am now about to uprate the discs.

Basically what I'm after is the 'best' or rather the most aggressive set up I can achieve with the standard 4 pot calipers. They will be used for fast road and some 'light' track work.

Any thoughts would be great! Cheers

Dave.

If youve got 17'' wheels or larger I'd consider the Godspeed 335mm disc kit.
If you are running on standard 16'' - I've tried both the Pagid Group N+ grooved ones and the EBC turbo grooved/dimpled ones.
Found the pagids had loads of surface cracking on them and eventually cracked, EBC have been fine and not seen any cracks. They were cheaper too !

I've got the Pagid Group N+ grooved discs. After some initial problems with judder (pagid blue pads), they've been fine for 2 years, approx 20k miles including one track day. No cracking etc. I'd recommend them.
