Time for new Front Discs JDM Sti '04 Blobeye but which ones???
there is so much choice from £89 to £499 and more. Mine has Brembo Caliper - should i push the boat out and go for discs/removable bells - i want to take it on track in near future so the brakes are going to made to work hard - any advice welcome - i just bought Ferrodo DS2500 pads as have used these on Classic previously, s/s brake lines and dot 5.1 fluid.

If you are taking it on the track put some good quality discs on , the cheaper ones usually come from china and use inferior quality materials in them.
A good quality one piece disc can take some serious use , even on the track , A 2 piece disc and bell is better
2 piece discs have aluminium bells so the discs are lighter so less unsprung which gives the suspension an easier time , as aluminium dissipates heat quicker the discs will run cooler and you get less heat transfer into the bearings , and as the discs can move very slightly on the bells there is virtually no chance of warping them.
I can supply you my 2 piece discs and bells for £350 a pair , and will work very well with what you have bought already.
Cheers Ian

Shall we try this thread again???
Now I get you guys don't get along which is fair enough, but come on.... this is a thread by a member asking for some advice. Apart from anything else, do either of you actually think this behaviour shows you (as a company) in a good light.
Competition is healthy, but throwing around some of the comments that have been deleted is both unnecessary, and against the rules of the forum. And no offence, but just because you pay to advertise here, does not give you the right to break the rules.
Advise, even tout for trade so to speak, but please leave private arguements off member's threads.
