I've been using Black Diamond disks and pads for three years with no problems. I'd still like more braking though, but can't afford AP.

fooking eck, i didnt realise it was such a black art...?!?!

would love APs but just cant justify that amount of cash, and i think theyd be a bit much when im only running 245bhp...!

Wouldn't touch them. Had them on my car all found prior to upgrading and every disc had atleast 1 full radial crack in it. The 2 front ones had 12 between them.
