I ended up using TAROX disks on my fiesta! After upgrading to sierra cosworth 4x4 278mM disks. I managed ro warp the ford ones but the cross drilled and grooved TAROX ones have been fine even with some extended hard drives!

I guess it is "pays your money and take your choice"

The TAROX ones I got were balanced too! which is a bonus in eliminating wheel vibration.

Wouldn't bother. Ran them on my exes fiesta st. But with 300 mm front discs amd modeo calipers.

Warped the front in the first two weeks. And rears followed suit shortly after.

Personally I think you need to be more concerned about pads and fluid rather than discs.

Any mintex item for discs I would use. None of this drilling bullshit either please!

I ran ebc discs and pads on my st170 all round and for track use you really want yellow stuff as ultimax is really mild fast road use and will cook

On my seat I just run genuine brembo discs and pads ( brembo 4 pots and 305 mm discs )

And there fantastic for road use. Just don't fade. If I did more track work I'd run Ferredo ds2500 but there noises and dusty for the road

They crack and are unneeded. Have a look at any modern race car, and I bet very very few run drilled discs.
