Guys

Going to do discs and pads all round.
Any suggestion for either?

Brand
Best place to purchase.

Thinking Zimmerman drilled discs and some EBC or pagid pads although happy to hear alternatives or experience with the above.

Mostly road, some track (eg Nurburgring in October)

I guess it's how much you want to pay, have got any other mods?

Nope, nothing at all. Need new rear setup anyway so thought I would go for some better pads and discs. Don't think the discs will give better performance really, just like the drilled look. Not overly concerned about cracking as suspect this is only an issue on tracked cars...

From most of the information I've found it's recommended to stick with OEM front discs. In fact I'm converting mine back to them tomorrow as the previous owner fitted (cheaper) cast iron discs. Pads seem a bit more free, but depends on your use, maybe OEM for road and a higher temp pad for the 'ring?

Yep - Zimmerman disks does not constitute an 'upgrade' in any sense. They're probably fine for pootling about mostly within the UK speed limits - save your money & time & don't bother on track as they'll last the morning if you're lucky.
