Could anyone give me their thoughts on these uprated discs. Has anyone ever used them? or are you using them? Are they really worth it. I dont really have the budget yet for a bigger upgrade in discs or calipers so was looking at these in combination with either the green or redstuff pads.

Can't comment on the discs. I would just use oem discs with some good pads.
Pads I would recommend ferrodo ds2500 as I've used these and always been very good.
Although had a couple of good reviews on hawk racing pads from a couple of customers, although they've been in jap stuff.

These are the same diameter and thickness as OE discs, and will give exactly the same braking performance. The description in the advert is pure pseudo scientific bull**ite.

I couldn't tell you the pros & cons of those disks, personally as its been said above, I would use OE disks.

I've got black diamond disks fitted all round - great, no problems with them at all.

Thought drilled discs were prone to cracking around the holes?
