Looking at these as a standard replacement part, front and rear discs with bearings pressed, price seems good but would you risk it or pay more from a shop you know

i had nothing but nightmares with warped discs and incorrect rear abs rings when i didnt purchase from renault.
it was worth paying the "extra" for discs from renault.
just my 2 cents worth :)
i'd buy standard brakes from a company i know..normally..
but these seem good and the drilled holes are counter sunk which helps stop them cracking..might be worth a punt..as they look ok..
will look better than standard as well as perform better..

What this means counter sunk? Can't figure out from the picture. (I'm sorry if this is a stupid question due to my vocabulary :oops: )

If you look at the discs, you can see the drilled hole bits have a concave bit, rather than just drilled straight through.
Same shame as a countersunk bolt head :D

Just buy standard discs which will be alot cheaper than them.
Make feck all difference being drilled.

also do you think i can really buy 4 discs and 2 bearings already pressed in for less that that?
standard discs and bearings OEM items are a lot more expensive than some ebay items!
im lookin for replacement rear discs and am considering my options just now. some discs on ebay look ok, others look a bit cheap and probably not well manufactured or machined.
for the price those discs seem good in my opinion but i suppose its all down to personal choice and opinions.
