Default Saph 4x4 brakes

What do you think about this brake set ?
First of all - about this brake disks. Who is manufacturer of disks? What is the reason that the manufacturer of pads is shown, but the manufacturer of disk - not?

Who from cossie owners tested the red stuff pads in every days road using?
Thanks in advance for answer!

ps Can anybody recomend good manufacturers and sellers for purchasing quality and not expensive brake disks and pads?

I have EBC discs on mine and they look just like those. However, i've heard EBC aren't very good and my discs are already a bit warped.

I used Brambo Max (grooved) front disk with the EBC ultimax pads on my focus (R.I.P. ) and disk warped very quickly.

A disc is a disc, give uit enough heat and it will warp, just like ap ones do if given enough heat.
Depends how you drive, if you haven't found the 4wd cossie brakes shit then you don't drive hard, so should be totally ok.
I have a 2wd and have used EBC REDSTUFF CERAMIC, but now use EBC Yellowstuff, which are even better, greenstuff are hopeless.
The redstuff work ace from cold very little dust no noise at all even when I take the anti squeal shim off the rear of the pads as I always do on all the pads, extremely resistant to fade.
I just use new discs every 2-3 years, either redstuff or if you drive a bit loony yellowstuff would be my choice, using grooved and/or drilled makes a massive difference as well, put some braided lines on too.
