dellybeans Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Right got caliper rebuild kit for the rear so going to get that done, So going to change disc and pads all round. I have drilled & grooved on front should I stick with them or go standard all round. Much difference between the two? Quote
Keri-WMS Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 We've got the EP91-type WMS 110% heavy duty front discs on the shelf in plan and grooved if that's any help! Grooves are more of a personal preference these days as modern pads are better at resisting glazing and gassing.... Quote
dellybeans Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 If have a look at your traders section for prices cheers for the info. I think I'll go with the drilled and grooved on front then standard on back Quote
AdamB Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Wouldn't use drilled discs at all, they tend to crack between the holes after repeated heat cycles. OEM will be fine all round really depending on what you use the car for, I would rather spend extra on some decent pads. Quote
dellybeans Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 Cheer for the info lads, when I got the car standard disc and green stuff pads as the cracked so got drilled and grooved. But now time for a change Quote
RobSR Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Again wouldn't run drilled at all. Ive always ran grooved and been happy compared to standard/drilled. Nothing too major either 8 or 10's, none of this 30/40 cack. That with some mintex 1144's/1155's or DS2500/3000, lines and 5.1 is a pretty decent setup for most. Personal expereince - EBC pads are the worst thing known to man, Edited February 18, 2015 by RobSR Quote

Pagid Discs from Euro's with some pads like Rob has said, or if you really want some stopping power Carbone Lorraine or Carbotech pads Quote
Keri-WMS Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 If people are keen on the dimples (instead of / as well as grooves, but not drilled!) then we could do the WMS 110% discs in that form? Even in plain form they have a 10% thicker casting than any OEM disc, even Pagid discs are "standard", plus we supply DS2500/DS3000 pads. I can't see a way to get better performance short of bigger/4-pot brakes really? Quote
iamlegend Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) not going to lie here but when I updated my brakes on my V to yellow pad/braided lines and grooved discs I noticed very little or nothing of a difference to my stock set up..... needs bigger calipers to be changed on starlets to get better brakes imo Edited February 19, 2015 by iamlegend Quote
RobSR Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) ^ Thats because you used yellow stuff - EBC stuff is pap. Wouldn't bother with dimpled discs either tbh but each to their own. Never looked in to it, do performance friction make ep fitment pads i wonder... Edited February 19, 2015 by RobSR Quote
dellybeans Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 So what do you reckon rob, any links to the stuff you recommend ? Quote
