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.

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
