That's what i was going to suggest, EBC turbo groove discs, i have these on my car been running them for 18 months pretty good budget discs, look good too. Think i paid a bit less than £150 though got mine from amber performance

CRN performance disks are really good

Not drilled but grooved

Cheap drilled discs are liable to cracking around the holes. Grooved should be fine though.

They're not drilled, they're "dimpled"

I've got these discs as well, zinc plated in gold, coupled with Goodridge hoses and yellow stuff pads. My brakes are awesome now.

Yeah big improvement over the old brakes on mine, I am just using the standard "black" EBC pads (it was cheaper to buy the "package" & Yellows separate!) seem fine for standard road use

Yup, those are the ones for your car I got the gold zinc coating which goes perfectly with my bronze alloys. Been on the car for 6 months and still look like new, not a spot of rust anywhere

If your budget can stretch another £60 or so it's well worth getting some goodridge hoses as they will make a difference also

Also worth pointing out that you need to fit them with the grooves the way Jim has them in his pictures. Sounds obvious but some discs are designed to have the grooves the other way around and some people just get them wrong full stop. I checked with CRN when buying mine and the grooves go the way you see them in Jim's pictures

Are those CRN discs and redstuff pads better than the OEM pads and discs then?

[ColleyV8]

My experience with CRN was that they shipped the disks and pads as promised, on arrival they had sent Rev1 front pads and rev 2+ backs, phoned them, very apologetic and I had the correct pads the next day.

Did sound like they had some stocking issues as they had to send them from another order to avoid waiting though.

Great disks and pads.

Heres mine:

Thanks for the heads up mate, put me off ordering them now...

[Ren0W]

Bronze TE37's and CRN discs and red calipers ?

[Ren0W]

And I see CRN posts here...

I was happy with the service before purchasing... but after I received the discs, and fitted them, I noticed they started to rust (and I ordered the coating ofcourse).

Emailed you guys, but never got a response to that.
Bit shame

[tarmac terrorist]

you could always go for something like this
330mm discs 8 pot calipers

(17 inch wheel)


rears 320mm RX8 front discs
(18" wheel)
