New Discs & Pads for LS2 Monaro

[throwyourbike]

Took the Monaro out for a little cruise this morning. First time I've driven it since October and I'd forgotten just how woeful the brakes are!

It's going in for a service soon and I think I'll get some new discs and pads fitted, at least on the front.

Any recommendations?

Ebc grooved http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EBC-TURBO-GROOVE-FRONT-D... with either red or yellow pads

Odd that these are 320mm discs, but the .monkfish website says 330mm. Which is right?

[blue666uk]

I thought the 6.0 vxr were 330mm front and 315mm rear which are the ones I've retrofitted to my CV8

Yup they are 330 didn't notice that these were not it looks like the 330 are only available in standard not super grooved here are std. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EBC-PREMIUM-OE-FRONT-DIS...

Are the EBCs better than DBA discs and performance friction pads then?

Don't know but I have ebc super groove and yellow pads and they work very well

On the EBC site they have front disc and yellow pad sets for £450ish.

Monkfish have DBA discs and performance friction pads for about £500ish.


Any particular reason to go for one over the other?

Probably about the same but don't know as said I have the cv8 with the turbo grooved all round and yellow pads and they work very well also with the yellow there don't seem to be lots of brake dust on the wheels

I have the 330mm EBC which aren't grooved, no real complaints when fitted with EBC red stuff pads. I only use it on the roads (no track days etc.) and it's more than capable for my stopping requirements.

I got a price from Holmart, it was a little while ago by they qouted me £210 for discs all round (the 330/315mm Vxr set up)
Got to ship ontop of that but that wasnt too bad either

[THUNDER STORM]

I wonder why they dont do super groove for the VXR discs, surely its cost effective for EBC to do them.

Any one from EBC out there to comment?
