Just got some for the fronts on the cheap (Fast road pads and 20groove discs). Not heard much about them. Anyone used or rate them?

I've heard they are pretty good. That many grooves though, be prepared to clean your alloys a lot hehe :D

What pads have you got?

XE compound 1750 fast road pads. Yeh not too sure about the grooved discs but they look pretty fly in the box. Some guy sold me them at college and i couldn't say no to the price. Got the lot for 60quid!

Can't complain at that! Even if they only last 6 months, will be a good opportunity to research them for cheap :)

Yeh. He had them lying around for a while and he needed the cash. My car doesnt really need them at the moment, so il probably save them till summer when i can test them on a track as well as some summer evening B road blasting.

Will report back as it happens.

I've had red dot 20 groove discs on mine for about 8-9 months, they're fine can't fault them really.

I got them for £48 delivered on fleabay, best bargain I've ever had with the car :D
