Question Advice needed please chaps.

Now then. I'm thinking about ordering some EBC red stuff pads and some drilled and grooved Black Diamond discs. Anyone used this combination before and got anything to say about them? I want to know if it is ok to use the red stuff with the black diamond drilled and grooved discs and what they are/will be like.

So anyone who can shed any light on this for me, please step forward and let me know your comments.

Thanks,

Chad.

P.S. The other option is the New Ultimax Black Anodised discs.

Can i ask why you want to reduce the braking surface of the disc?

also API will sort you out a package to suit your needs, dont just go for what everyone else has, get them to suit you
