There is an ebay seller that does drilled/grooved discs, he doesn\'t list them for the FB, but can get them in. They machine standard discs ;)
I have them on my sport and my GT - the GT ones were £58 for the fronts, and £49 for the rears, the sport ones were about a tenner more.

I have asked him about discs for the FB, and he said there are 2 sizes, and he can get both :)

machining standard discs is fine - all the drilled etc discs you can buy have been machined at some point ;)
 
 
they do stop well, and get rid of the heat etc, most noticable difference is in the wet, when the brakes seem a bit more instant to respond :)

Black diamond discs and Hawk "blues" brake pads.
Try and tested on track. Excellent as long as you don\'t mine the extra of brake dust

fook, I paid less than that for my car :Talking1

That\'s far too expensive, surely they\'ve made a mistake? They use the same discs I can get from a motor factors, and are usually only about £15 more per pair... :2Rolleyes
