Default From standard to Black Diamond or Ebc

2001 bugeye,discs and pad`s need changing,got standard discs and pads on at moment,i want to upgrade to either Black diamond front pads and Black diamond grooved discs or grooved and drilled but worried drilled will get hairline fractures,or go for Ebc Red stuff pads and Ebc grooved and dimpled discs,which would be best !.

I've just got myself a set of DBA 9 grooved discs coupled with some Ferodo DS2500 pads and I have to say the difference is immense! Would highly recommend them, the discs aren't that much more expensive than Black Diamond's but the pads are quite pricey, I read quite few problem stories about the Black Diamond disks cracking (and not just the cross drilled ones). Might have just been a bad batch but is was enough to put me off.

Got mine from Alyn at AS Performance, he was very helpul.. just tell the guy your driving style and he'll recommend what's right for your needs!

I run Black diamond grooved discs and ferodo DS2500 on my mk 1 golf GTI and must say that they work very well together.
