Rear Brake Discs - A Kerfuffle
My '99 UK Turbo is due up to Subaru4You for it's six-monther shortly and it was highlighted at the last service that new rear brake discs would be needed shortly.
Trouble is I don't know which ones to get. Is it worth paying for performance rear discs when I'm only running exhaust modifications? (and am not into heavily modifying cars) Would I be better off just buying OEM equivalents? Such as EBC's direct vented replacements (part no. D730) These retail at around £100 a pair but I've seen some on Camskill that are only £45 a pair. This seems remarkably cheap, does any one have any experience with these products? Are they any good?
Your thoughts/suggestions are most welcome.
As you were.

I don't know the exact value but your rears do a small percentage of the total braking effort so unless you go really mad with the modifications I would not bother uprating them. All I have done to my rears is a set of EBC red pads.
