Thinking about investing in some new front discs as the braking is getting much more wobbly at high speeds. :frown: If I've got AP's fitted what are the options when it comes to discs? Will probably get greenstuffs as well.

I got my drilled / grooved discs on ebay, paid a bit extra for them to have the anti rust coating on them (dunno how long it will last) obviously it wears off the friction surface.

Cant comment on how good they work yet but the service was excellent. I also fitted Greenstuff pads.

I have bought the EBC Green stuff pads already for when I get my APs Mintex are good as well I was told.

Seems like quite a good price in all fairness. I'm toying with those that you've suggested or these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MGF-MG-TF160BHP-MINTEX-FRONT-BRAKE-DISCS-304MM-AND-PADS_W0QQitemZ360069381698QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item53d5cebe42

Thanks Sam... I'm running on Red Stuff at the mo but they're almost worn out so might as well change them whilst replacing the discs.

Its worth looking at both Black Diamond and Tarox disc if you fancy spending your pennies both will improve the braking performance, as would the Black diamond Carbon Ceramic pads, used them on the Nurburgring last August with no fade.

I'd recommend Mintex pads over Greenstuff for the front if you do a lot of 'spirited' driving Disc wise, can't really recommend as I don't have the APs :shake:

I use Greenstuff on the rear and they're ok there though

Thanks Dan! Do Mintex come in different grades like greenstuff, redstuff etc.?
