Drilled discs aren't really suitable on a road car as they holes cause cause cracking. Not really an issue on a track car.

4x4 Cossie kit works very well. In all honesty I doubt very much you will need anything more than good quality standard discs and a good set of pads like Mintex or Ferrodo DS2000 (iirc).

If you must put something posher in I can highly recomend Tarox 12 groove discs. :Q

No need for this fancy discs most of the time.

I use standard discs along with good brake fluid and race pads on track and never have fade.

So imo get standard discs,fresh fluid and good quality pads :wink:

A good quality dot 4 with high boiling point

Dot 5.1 absorbs moisture more.
