I've just put EBC turbo grooved discs and EBC redstuff pads on my terzo...With the earlier 2 pot calipers and pretty pleased with them, although they do work better when warmed up.

I have Black Diamond cross drilled and grooved discs and Black Diamond pads on my MY99. They stop sooo much better than my standard set up ever could, plus they look good! I had this done in anticipation of my up and coming Mapping session with Bob R. After all I do need to stop

Ferrodo DS2500 pads are absolutely awesome - and I couldn't recommend them enough.
Have used Mintex, and think they were the 1144s (?) which are also very good - but think the DS2500 have the edge - don't take too long to heat up and don't seem to fade, and have a good hard bite.

Changed to Redstuff for everyday driving and they are fairly good just not up to repeated very hard stops that the Ferodo's would cope with. I've fitted Tarox fast road pads to the missus's car and they seem to be holding up well if not a little harsh on the disc.

if your car is a 99 or a 2000(i'm guessing its 2000 from ur name) it will have the four pots on it. was only just the other week I was asking the same question. this is a very helpfull website i've found out very quickly. My car was made in 98 and i've got 2 pots. pretty poor to be honest even with better discs and pads, but i'm not forking out the money for bigger calipers.
