Cool, is there any benefit of going for drilled and grooved instead of just grooved?
I heard that drilled weakens the disc (more chance of cracking) and doesn't add much benefit anyway.

The holes aid with cooling and the dissipation of gas but I notice the difference more with the holes when driving in the rain.
I’ve had the same disks on GP1499 for 6.5 years (over 30K miles of driving) and I would trust them on a track day today.
Plus the look a lot sexier than normal disks.

Sent from Yorkshire wi an hint o’ sarcasm.
I've got drilled discs, and I've had smoke coming off my pads (oops) and the discs aren't cracked.
Buy a decent make and they'll be fine
Would it better to spend a bit more money for a big brake kit on the front only?
Such as tarox etc?
Haha yeah it's a crazy amount of money for a BBK.
I think I will go new discs and pads route since it's only a few hundred and will make a huge difference.
We where going to put the JCW brakes on Megan’s 210 just before we traded it in. A better pad and disk will make a difference
Seems a common conversion on the older R50 is to fit the front calipers off of the R56. Anybody on here done that..?? I missed out on elfmans R56 calipers a while back and have toyed with the idea ever since :argh:
