Are these discs any good?

Im gonna be upgrading to Cossie Discs and was wondering if these are gonna be ok to go on?

Manufacturer : Black Diamond

Category : Black Diamond Discs - Combis Front

Sub-category : BDFC - Ford

Application : Sierra/Sapphire RS Cosworth 86-90

Product Code: KBD052C

Details : Vented disc. Diam = 283mm ; Thickness = 24mm



I have read that some drilled discs are prone to cracking, would i be better going for just the grooved discs or the combi ones?
Drilled Combi Grooved



Im gonna be using the car for mainly road use but the odd track session in the summer. Can anybody recommend me some decent pads as well?

thanks peeps

what discs do you recommend, i always thought that black diamond were supposed to be pretty good?

if you want "named" disks then personally i'd go for Tarox .
i got my cossie disks from SportBrakes and they have been fantastic and stood up to loads of abuse with ease,including several track days a year cost half as much as black diamond too

I've got a nice set of ST170 brakes for sale on E Bay at the moment and they aren't really that much more than you'd end up paying for a set of Black Diamond warp easily disks

ok il have to have a look into it, did a bit of research and read of somebody warping black diamond discs quite quickly so will look into other brands.

Cliff S1 i doubt they would fit under my standard wheels unfortunately

SafeChav

Nah Dave, your thinking of the wrong person. I am however quite insanely jealous of your rocker cover, what lush cunt sold you that

They are very good. Had lots of different on mine, and these are holding up the best so far. Tony used them on his rally car, so that was good enough for me!

Funny that as I have used them (Black Diamond) on my competition car for about 9 years with NO problems at all.

Don't like ferrodo pads with them tho, as they leave too much copper behind and so fade quicker.

Dont forget Im talking competition use - on a road car they may fair up a bit better.

I now just use bog standard no name ones from my local motorfactors which are about £70 cheaper and last (for me) the same time span.

Pads, I only ever use Mintex since doing back to back trials with about 5 manufacturers in one day.

Funny old world isn't it

I had problems with mine but that was back in 2000 and they weren't very helpful to say the least

i got the cobi disks and dimond pads ( deal on fleabay £100 all new)

im hard on brakes, and my standards are high. They really have been spot on so far. NO warp/judder at all, and ive had the pads totally smoking.
