Default Front and rear discs on ebay. Opinions please

Impreza WRX Bugeye Blobeye Brake Discs Front Rear on eBay, also Brake Components, Performance Tuning Parts, Car Tuning Styling, Vehicle Parts Accessories (end time 22-Jun-09 20:11:28 BST)

What's peoples opinions on the above please?

Only £129 for front and rear drilled, grooved discs. Potential bargain or one to steer clear of?

Cheers

Andy

Hi

i have not had these ones personally off ebay, but a similar set of just grooved disks on the front, they are a bit rumbly when braking and more aggresive on pads but braking is improved imo.(just depends if you can put up with that noise)

hope that helps??

Ok thanks guys. I only really need some front discs but am on a bit of a budget. Can anyone suggest some good cheapish front discs?

Bob you are completely wrong there,

Those are black diamond discs, not the one's from the ebay listing above.

I would never use drilled discs due to the cracking risk. Grooved fine but no way drilled!

i went for the grooved disks off ebay and they worked fine.

Wore the pads out quickly, and survived 5 track days before they ended up like that picture.

If your not tracking its worth a pop.
