OK, so I am already planning how to spend next month's wage packet even though I was paid Thursday just gone.....
Basically I'm looking at what discs to buy to complete the list of parts needed for my brake conversion.
There seem to be a lot of different ones about but I have no idea whether they're any good or not.
The ned in me wants something either drilled, grooved, or drilled and grooved (for that 'max power' effect).
The most popular brands I've seen that cater for 16v's are:
Tarox
Red Dot
EBC
Black Diamond
I've also seen a couple of efforts from Brembo and Mintex but they don't really appeal to me. Black Diamond seem a tad on the expensive side but they look nice and have heard good things about them.
I like the look of the Tarox Sport Japan, but the only price I've seen for these is £135.00! (http://www.needforspeed.co.uk/pages/sbv_pl.asp?Vehicle=RN_1901&PartType=BRT02)
So if anybody can recommend something drilled/grooved/drilled and grooved and for under £100 then that'd be great!
Last question - I assume discs listed for Clio 16v's are suitable also? |
