Re: Which brake Discs?
What brand are those discs?
If you get some cheapies you coudl end up in warped disc city!
I previously had a set of EBC Turbo discs (grooved and dimpled) they were alright for the money, but nothing too special.
I then went for some black diamond discs that were very good indeed.
I need a new set now though, so will be watching this thread...!

Re: Which brake Discs?
I doesnt say a brand or anything, just hoped somebody had more info or if anybody had used them, as ive not recieved a response from the seller, I think they are their own brand.
I will probably go for Camberly Aut0 factors, possibly EBC

Re: Which brake Discs?
in my experience they are all pretty much the same (not carbon obviously) for fast road/track i would not get anything other than plain ones as even the porker boys swap their cross drilled to plain for serious track sessions. That said i just bought a set of cheap grooved fronts - but then i doubt my car will ever see a track
Re: Which brake Discs?
so you reckon non drilled / grooved? just plain?
Re: Which brake Discs?
yes, i have broken a few cars and spoke to a few racers in the MR2 championship and they all run standard rev3 setup with good pads, i would doubt they run anything other than plain disks. The others are for show (i think they look much better than plain though, which is why i bought some - and ill be going from rev1 to a rev3 setup anyway so will be much better still)
Re: Which brake Discs?
cool, I will do as you suggest and see how it goes thanks
Re: Which brake Discs?
I have also converted my brakes from Rev1 NA to Rev3+ Turbo, and put on black diamond grooved discs and black diamond pads, braking is quite good One thing i did not change was the brake master cylinder as i was told it was the same part. Can someone confirm this please?

It's not, the rev2+ master cylinder is bigger. 15/16" I think.
IME a well looked after (i.e. no sticky sliders, etc) standard rev2+ brake setup is excelent.
