My front brake pads are due for replacement but the offside pads have been dragging on the disc, potentially causing the disc to warp (I should find out very shortly if they have warped). If the discs are warped, the easy option is to buy a set of Brakes International front pads and discs. However, are there any front discs on the market which are cheap and which do not rust at the centre? The car is no longer tracked and so there's no point me spending money on a Dixcel set up, or similar. Really I'm looking simply for an aesthetic improvement for little additional outlay. I've performed a search this morning but I can't find any obvious answers amongst the myriad of search results.

Beat me to it - I was going to post an almost identical question...

I use a company called CRN for my brakes. I had them on my MR2 and EP3 before, grooved with zinc coating and was really impressed. I originally found them through a group buy on civictyper.co.uk. The zinc coating really made the difference with the rust.

I was on the phone to them yesterday about some for the S2000, and they'll be getting back to me on monday. I'd be happy to mention a few other members might be interested and see if I can arrange a discounted price?

There's a good choice of brake pads on offer too.

It's unlikely the discs are actually warped, 99% of the time large pad deposits are the cause.

I believe black diamond do a range of coated discs, they are usually well priced.

Normal BI disks with the centres painted with high temp black paint.

No rust. Not expensive.

I had the crn ones on my civic and they were shocking on track but fine for the road.

Bremtech / brakes international are great and reasonably priced!

I used silver hammerite spray on the centres and edges... over 6 months ago, still spot on, just wipe clean

Easiest solution I have used is a simple aerosol can of high temp paint. I got a grey / black one that was a nice matt shade, It was super easy to use. Just liberally apply to the calipers and discs for a rust free non chav look.

How did you guys mask off the disc prior to painting? I did try that approach a few years ago but the paint started to flake off. However, I was tracking the car and that's no longer the case.
