Nic Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 What brake discs do people prefer, Grooved, Drilled or both? What are the pros and cons? Stock, unless you want to spend big money on 2-piece discs (lighter than stock). Grooves just reduce the braking area, drilled holes are prone to cracking. http://www.project-mu.co.jp/e/images/parts/rotor/SCR-PRO_SLIT-FS.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simbasupra Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Have no experience but was also wondering this. I think solid discs are prone to warping, drilled discs are prone to cracking so i guess grooved discs will be a happy medium. i'm sure someone will be along to correct me though.

Nic Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 What about the warping factor of stock discs nic? When I had stock OEM Toyota disc fitted, I never had a problem with warping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flukey-lukey Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 i was told these are half descent 3G GR-10 front discs I have those. The feel is better than stock imo, but I really need to get some decent pads too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I stuck with stock discs until I started doing track days, even then I went with TRD discs which are virtually stock but for some grooves... which are supposed to aid frequent heavy braking sessions, I think with stock dics you'd get better performance for a emergency stop than those with slots and drilled holes.

I managed to warp my UK fronts about a year ago, but they were more than a little worn out when it happened! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
