Discs 100%

Agree with Neil, don't bother with factored discs as they are crap and won't last very long especially if running decent BHP and doing a lot of heavy breaking.

Oops I didn't read it properly either

Does it brake in a straight line or does it pull to one side?

why ford disc's? thought they were crap and warp easily? the disc's and pads that were in it were black diamond. the disc's are still in although ive put a cheap set of pads into get me away as the black diamond predator pads were nearly down to metal.. ( it was shaking with the B/D pads the and still is with the cheapo's )

No way Craig - Ford ones are fine, I've been using them recently after no end of trouble with various 'performance' discs. My current set have done 2 trackdays with full-on ABS into every corner - No probs whatsoever.

I've tried endless different pads too, and found ferodo DS2500's to be the best. I'm going to try the 3000's for Croft next month.

Black Diamond discs are rebranded motorfactors discs I heard

Seriously mate - Get yourself a pair of ford discs and some nice pads and try it
