Looks like i\'m gonna be trying the Black Diamond discs and hawk pads also so we\'ll see :)
 
Will be nice to not have juddering for a change lol
 
Would you recommend the grooved, drilled, or combo ??  Only use the car on road.

Hmm well all I know is that the more extreme the grooving and drilling, the less time the pads last cause its like a cheese grater lol I might go for some simple grooved disks when I get a new set for mine, they will be a lot better than stock, but also let the pads last a bit more :)

Mmmmm it\'s just i\'ve heard that drilled discs tend to crack easily.... Not sure if this depends on the disc tho tbh...

Drilled disks only crack if they weren\'t made correctly, if they are correctly forged with the holes in it, rather than simply drilling holes in a disk and not treating it they are fine, Black diamond disks seem to be a pretty good choice for RXs from what ive heard, just don\'t get their pads lol

Discs cast with holes in are very expensive as far as I know, so unless you\'re spending many hundreds on them, I\'d imagine they\'re drilled and my experience is they crack very easily on track if you\'re using decent pads!
