Grooved Brake discs recommendation
Been using Bremtech discs for the past 3 months ish and they perform great, however, I am after some grooved discs to replace them.
What can you recommend that performs better, wont rust up and look shoddy and aren't stupidly expensive

You'll be lucky to get a combination of not rusting up and inexpensive.
The Dixcels will do what you want, but they are expensive. (Although they won't really perform "better" unless you are on a racetrack).
if it's just for bling (as I suspect
) then you could try the MTec https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/108...ed-brake-discs

They'll just eat your pads quicker and can give a nasty vibration as well.
I had grooved Stoptechs for a while but took them off after wearing a set of ds2500s out in a few months and 2 wet trackdays.

Don't see the point in them unless the car is being tracked on a regular basis.
As it has already been commented by Ap1-Nazi, Grammar-Nazi and Winifred: they eat your brakes, rust as all others and are fairly pointless (unless tracked)
Look pretty though!

I will bear this in mind for future reference.

Two options from Dixcel.
SD – Same as PD with additional braking power of 20%, great for the more enthusiastic street driver
Front - £210
Rear - £156
FCR FS – Same as FP with the addition of 6 slots offering the ultimate braking performance.
Front - £336
Rear - £270
Both are zinc coated to prevent corrosion.
The three basic points of slots are; about 20% overall braking performance, 30% more pad wear on street and more dust. Oh and they look cool..
Let me know if you have any more DIXCEL questions.
