Default Front Pads and Discs on a Classic

As the Titles states im in pretty desperate need for some new Front Pads and Discs. Had a good search through the forum but im still in two minds on what to get. Ive got a X reg 2000 Classic Turbo with 4 pots on the front. Its completly standard and i wont be doing any track days. Ive found 2 options that ill go for

No1 - http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/~god...id_product=160

and No2 - https://www.scoobynet.com/trader-ann...-packages.html

The £79.99 set from Aztec.

Now is it worth spending the extra and getting the Godspeed Grooved discs and pads, or will the discs just chew the pads quicker than the others?

Any help would be Great!

Thanks Ian I did see them aswell the other day, the others are well within my budget, on average how long will the kevlar pads last with the grooved discs on normal road driving?

They will last about the same as standard discs and pads , as the kevlar pads are a slightly harder compound than standard pads , they will not wear quicker on a grooved disc compared to standard items.

Just to add , the link you put up from my website , we offer that deal to members on here for £109.99 and you would get a slightly better pad and painted disc centres.

We try to offer different options to suit all pockets

Cheers Ian
