I'm in need of some new discs and pads.
The main reason is that mine (original) discs heat up in like 5s in they brake for shit then...

I willing to spend max 150GBP so I need to know what is the best choice.... rolleyes

I also found this on ebay, but I'm little sceptic about this stuff... confused

hmmm - apparently, the drilled discs are "laser drilled" - sounds a bit dubious to me - how many brake disc distributors will have laser equipment capable of getting through an inch of cast iron.

perhaps they are using a bit of poetic license and what they REALLY mean is laser drilled rolleyes
