Looking to upgrade my discs and pads soon, quite like to go for something different, vented & grooved perhaps, what do you guys have and where do you recommend getting them from? Cheers :D

Iv got WMS 4 pot calipers and red stuff pads on grooved disks upfront on my 325 sport and the way it stops is amazing! Nice, sharp and very responsive.
On the rear it has cross drilled disks on standard pads

My 2.7 has EBC disks with green stuff pads on the front and drums on the rear :)

Ate front and rear with EBC red stuff all round, can't remember what it was like to drive my E30 it's been so long :( Was an improvement over what was on it though.

No need for drilled discs is all I will say.

Cheers guys, drilled and grooved discs do look good, not sure if it's something i'll be going for, i've heard quite a lot about these ebc discs and also the pads that you mentioned, cheers guys!

Drilled discs can start to crack though!
