Hi all,

I have a my96 sti v3 (import) with 4 pot and standard disc's on it can anyone tell me what size these are??? cheers.

Also looking for some info / advice, looking at getting new pads and front disc's. For Pads i'm thinking of Red Stuff Ceramic but nut sure what disc's to go for would like something that cross drilled and grooves?? any idea's???

thanks in advance.

personally wouldn't run x-drilled at all, stick with grooved maximum................your discs are 294mm - plenty of options available dependant on your budget and use??

cheers for the size mate, looking for fast road (within the legal limit) and track use.

Forgive my lack of knowledge but are grooved better than drilled and grooved what are the pro's and con's of the both???

Cheers.

The drilled discs are more prone to cracking if they get some hard use.

I would also be interested to know if any standard sized discs are really up to hard track use? Is there any real difference in the different manufacturers products ?

Grooved are better than drilled in most cases, it cleans the surface of the pad and lets out all the gasses when the pads go over the grooves, drilled as stated can crack under hard use, i think Porsche have drilled discs except they aint drilled, they are cast with the holes to reduce the risk of cracking.
