Whats a Good Set of Brake Discs (Grooved!)
Want Better Braking/And the looks behind the alloys
For a reasonable price?

Can you get coloured Disks?

u can get the kit, brand new calipers and genuine discs and pads from v-tuning.co.uk for 140 quid, the stopping power of these things is amazing compared to standard size brakes.

get some grooved discs and put the left side disc on the right and vice versa, so the grooves face the wrong way, ya pads will wear out quicker but braking will be improved..

mate if you are using the brakes then they are warped nothing to do with balancing if it only happens when you are using the brakes, common with standard brakes to warp
