Looking at around 600 for 4 discs and pads.
Just shelled out 600 for 4 fresh dunlop sport max TTs and money for tax, mot and a service.

Cars are expensive

I think they are quite an harsh pad on paintwork from what I remember.

Why not look into DS2500? Mintex 1144 or Carbotech XP8's?

My discs are holding up well so far, cryogenically frozen ftw. I just find that with the grooved discs the Ferodos dust alot more than they used too on plain discs. The Ferodos did eat a set of standard discs within 3k miles so definetly get decent uprated discs

i have used ds2500 before and they were great but did left deposits on the disks making them warp, rc5+ leave rust trails on the paint work.

Have a look at Hawk HP+ they get great reviews. just fitted a set to my dc2 and so far bite more than the ds2500

Cheers MJ
