Default Another disc / pad question.

I have the gold Brembo calipers on my blobeye STI, not sure of the disc size though. I had a `rough` measure and they`re around 320 odd???
(So I`m assuming 326mm?)

I`ve decided on Ferodo DS2500 pads (unless anyone can suggest better ones) as I`ve had previous good experiences with them, but I`m very undecided about which discs to go with them Obviously I want decent ones but don`t really want to spend £300 - £400 like I`ve seen. Anyone got any good recommendations??? Cheers.

Oh and as far as pads go, do I have to specifically look for different sizes to fit my Brembos or am I being thick

Hi
Yes your discs are 326mm , I can supply you grooved ones for £99 , or our 2 piece discs and bells for £295 a pair , pads wise , the DS2500's are good , but expensive , another choice which is as good is the Performance Friction Z rated pads , but a lot less.
Give me a ring tomorrow on 01656 723060 and I can run through details and prices with you
Cheers Ian

I have the Australian DBA grooved discs with the DS2500 seems an excellent combination.

Ok, brakes ordered, is there anything I need to know / watch out for when fitting front pads and discs or is it pretty straight forward? Thanks.
