Brake disc's

Hi, what is the opinion of these disc's and pads. I know people say you should always buy MB genuine brake pads and discs, but saw these and what the difference would be.

Mtec are fairly popular from what I know, Mintex pads are usually good quality too. I'd go for it. The drilled & grooved discs should be fine and have a long lifespan for road use.

Can't look at the link because it's blocked here at work....but... drilled/groved disks do not improve braking performance except in extreme (racing) situations where the hot gasses caused by on-the-limit braking can get away slightly quicker..

In road-driving situations, all the groves and drillings do it reduce the life of the disks. They will lighten them VERY slightly wihch is good, but not significant.

If you need more stoppping power for the same pedal effort, (assuming therre's no faults with your braking system), you need to look elsewhere.

Check the diameter of your front discs before ordering. You may have larger discs than the 300mm diameter ones in that link. Apart from that, looks a good deal.
