Hmmm. Depends who made them.

I have been looking at new grooved 312's and replacement discs are well over a ton for the pair :eek:

Doh!

I see now....

If they came as a front pair i'd have a set!

Just bought a set on a previous auction, just waiting for them to arrive so I will update on the quality and how much difference they make!!!

Someones gotta do it!

I was going to buy a set to fit on my Suzuki Swift gti rally car from the same company, but when I spoke to them I changed my mind, the reason being is because all they do is machine the groves into standard discs but don't re heat treat them afterwards, so in effect actually making the discs weaker than standard ones. There probably fine for everyday driving and will look good but I wouldn't like to give them some real stick especially if running a semi competition pad, I use standard Q&H discs with Hawk blue pads (similar to a Pagid blue) on the rally car and the fronts only last 2/300 miles of tarmac stage rallying and the car only weighs 745kg!

For discs I am going to be looking at ATE discs from Euro car parts. A mate with an octy vrs has fitted them, to a number of his cars including the vrs, and has nothing but good things to say about them. Only in the region of £40 each.

QH are a fairly big name in the cheap end of motor factor parts.

Has anyone managed to test the QH, or mintex disks yet, as im also looking to replace all disks and pads in the very near future.

My Front QH grooved discs went on today, I will post a pic tomorrow and see how they go, seem to have minimal vibration for a grooved disc too which is also a bonus.

Those appear to be the normal 1.8T disks pads rather than the larger vRS ones.

The disks state 312mm so Id say they were correct?
