Default Whats the best 4x4 rear discs and pads to use ???

Im going to be fitting my AP 6 pots soon and have managed to get my hands on a pair of rears calipers for dirt cheap.

I was just going to get some O/E discs and use Mintex 1155's or 1144's.

Is it worth fitting any of the grooved discs etc

Can't understand the obssession with Goodridge - doesn't make the car perform any better . I would personally spend the money on something that actually does something, rather than just looks good .

Personally i dont think they are just for looks Mike

The way i see it the jic fittings give a good seal between faces and i believe they will ensure the bretaher system is fully sealed up fromall angles.

Ok they are a bit bling but IMO they will surve a purpose and not just for looks !!!

Anyway you are only moaning at me because the moneys going on the fittings and not one of your big brake kits
