Hiya, im gunna change the pads and discs on my 3dr soon as they are getting a bit low. Whats the best set-up for fast road use? I was thinking EBC set-up, but just wanted some views on it.

Cheers

EBC warp too quickly IMHO. Pagid discs and Pads are about the best standard size and fitment stuff you can get, all IMHO.

CharlieSaff

Agree EBC wear out very quickly, you could try black diamond discs with predator pads

Mark @ MADevelopment recommended std discs and Ferrodo DS2500 pads for anything up to stage 3.

Agree with everything - EBC are shit, Ferodo are very good

OE Discs (As in proper ford discs) are the best I have ever used!

Get some proper o/e discs and some mintex 1155 competition pads, i found this setup very good indeed even from cold, the discs never warpped either

ferodo ds2500 pads

boXXer

cheers for the suggestions guys, i really want something that is grooved/drilled, and as i have warped the standard ford items a bit, i dunno if i should go for them again. so many choices though! lol.

TIFF

I run Pagid grooved disc and Mintex 1144's

Dont get drilled discs as they crack....so i am told

boXXer

oh right, had heard about the drilled thing, but dunno if its true. They fit them to porches ETC as standard, so i dunno now, lol! Where is gunna be the best place to buy all this from?

Mechanic_Wedgie

I've got drilled disks, never cracked, with Ferodo DS2500 pads.
My cousin also has drilled disks, also never cracked.

boXXer

what drilled discs do you have? cant seem to find anyone that makes them.

The Porsche discs are cast with the holes in, most 'performance' drilled discs are simply plain discs with holes drilled in - a bad idea IMO.

It's probably your pads that have warped your discs mate

my rear drilled discs cracked to the edge of the disc .. whn i dropped em on the floor from about 2 foot they cracked all the way through... god knows what the fronts would have done then

boXXer

hmmmm, would be interesting to see whos have cracked then. Might steer away from the drilled disc way then, and go for OE discs and decent pads. RAN: who did you get your pads from? was it a trader on here? i cant remember now.

Mike.

boXXer

what about tar.ox stuff? they have some nice discs. They any good?

Had Ferodo DS2500 in my saff many moons ago on standard calipers and discs stage one chip, superb pads no fade or judder jus had to warm them up a bit

I had ebc on my other 3dr and they were terrible, dont get them, i replaced them with red dot 6 groove and mintex 1144's and they were perfect. I will be getting them for my new 3dr when i get round to it

boXXer

i was thinking of the tar.ox groove+hole combi, and some DS2500's as they sound the best so far. Can you get them for both the front and rear?

Cheers
Mike
