Default Drilled Grooved Discs on Ebay or GGR Discs?

Need new front discs and pads for my WRX MY95.

I have 4 pots and 294mm discs.

Has anyone bought the grooved and drilled off ebay that are £69.99 from AZmotor?

Should I go for these or the GGR package of 2 discs and pads (not drilled or grooved) for £100 delivered?

Andrew.

The GGR are the incorrect size, 23mm rather than 24mm.

Just checked their web site and they say 23mm on there as well.

Well spotted!

They describe them as OE equivalent discs for the 4 pot caliper set up - How can that be if they wont fit??

Should they not be 24mm?

Will fit and work but just 1mm shy in width.

I go for... www.speedways.co.uk £90 delivered and known quality of disc. Get some good pads..... stockcar on here is super.

Bought a set of the GGR discs and pads 2 months ago. Fit was excellent, brake feel much improved over the old ebc cr%p that I had on before, no fade issues so far. Covered nearly 1000miles on them since the change.
Can't go wrong! Don't worry about the 1mm difference, at the end of the day, I don't think GGR would sell duff products.

Think you will find they are still EBC i have had a look and as a supplier of these they certainly look very much of the same source even got the same part number

Well even if they are, they are 10 times better than the grooved/dimpled disc+red stuff ceramic pad combo that I paid £400 for! The discs warped after just 5K, and when I went to changed them, I noticed that pads only had around 3-4mm left on them.
