I was sort of half contemplating modding the front brakes on the lady which you see below but I thought it may be a mod too far (expertise and safety wise). I was going to go for the set up which is the MB branded calipers and drilled/grooved discs ala SLK350 and C220 CDi.
I'm still keen, in a restrained way, and I was thinking maybe just change the discs for drilled and slotted and maybe some competion pads?'. The point of this post is, if I go for the same diameter disc (bear in mind the calipers stay) do you lose any brake effect through having holes in the disc, that is having slightly less area for the pads to work on?
