i wouldnt buy grooved disks myself unless your happy at you pad lifetime being reduced by 50%

cross-drilled are a far better option, as these dissapate heat & dont wear pads as much as the grooved

grooved disks dont disappate heat they just skim off the top layer of the pads to prevent glazing, which is only really a problem if you take your car on trackdays etc

CALIBRA 2.0 upgrade calipers - Red*Dot 6slots and Red*Dot fast road pads. They squeal badly first thing in morning and also when braking at slow speeds i.e city driving/traffic jams etc. Dosent bother me as when ever I watch WRC on T.V they have the same problem.... :lol: lol
