utterly pointless - the Coupe rear brakes don't do much work, so standard discs with good quality pads are perfectly adequate

Save your cash and spend it on good front brakes instead

Looking to overhaul discs and pads on the front and back as of payday,just so happened i came across these and i'm not sure.

Thinking about a brembo disc set up and not too sure on which pads just yet.

Not so much chav, the design was to increase airflow through the centre but in reality that doesn't really happen.
They do look crap mind you!

Two factors as to why i'm not sure about these....
1.Not only do they look like something you'd find on a car from mad max, but...2.From a performance perspective won't there be a lesser surface area of contact between pad and disc due to the 'teeth' removing a notch from the usual circumference of the disc?
