My Octavia vRS needs new Discs and Pads all the way round. There are loads of different types that are supposed to fit. Do i need to get a particular type. They range in price hugely, so want to make sure i get the right ones. Do they need to be grooved? is

Unless you're madly into track days, I don't think it's really really really that much better to get grooved discs.

If I'm wrong, please shout guys, but I reckon you're more likely to need performance pads to warrant "better" discs.

I can only speak for fabias, but I bought a pair of 312mm front discs (standard octy rs size) from eurocarparts and they were about

Black Diamond drilled and grooved all round...

Hi,

First off unless your doing track work, or want the look, grooved / drilled discs don't offer a major benefit, better pads and fluid offer more.

The pagid offer is for a competition pad equvilient to the DS2500 (which I have).

Happy hunting
