Default New Front Discs

So one of my front "turbogroove" EBC dimpled and slotted discs have cracked. Have been using Ferodo DS2500 pads, which i find excellent.

So I need new discs, I don't really want EBC ones again, after this crack and the Red Stuff pads lasted about 5k miles I won't be buying any more of their products. That said i do really like the look of the slotted and dimpled discs and have spotted these:

does anyone have any experince of Nitrac? I have never heard of them.

Bugger, doesn't bode well for my new turbo groove EBC disks.

Normal with the very occasional trackday (1-2 a year).


Yes i'm afraid the card is marked for these discs....

I'd be happy with 15k from a front set of disks.

But then again I am odd.

Mine would have done about 15K when they cracked.

Si2K obviously cracked them with redstuffs, which is interesting.

I'm surprised they lasted that long.

EBC, best left for Saxo's and Corsa's IMHO
