Does anybody have any after market brake discs and pads fitted to their cars. I upgraded the discs and pads on my last car(non merc) to grooved and really felt an improvement. The standard merc brakes are good but is there better. Is drilled and grooved so much better? I need to replace front...

Hi, I'm thinking of upgrading the brakes on the car. Are there any tried and tested combinations of performance discs and pads that anyone has used on a W203? I want to stick to the same diameter disc as changing the calipers could be costly. Also, are there any issues with Mobilo in...
