brake disks and pads Options

[rhodesyboy]

Hi I am looking to buy some new brake disks and pads, I am after a good set but after looking on demon tweeks the price for decent "well known" disks are pretty expensive, so I have found two other brands and I am wondering if anybody has had any good/bad experiences with them.

The one I am looking at due to their price is just called 'brake depot', you can get front and rear vented and grooved disks and EBC ultimax pads for £348 or £467 for yellowstuff pads.

So I am just wondering if anybody has had any luck with these disks, I know the pads will be good quality because they are EBC the disks are the only worry.

Also with the pads how good are ultimax pads? I won't be doing track days but I will be doing quite a bit of aggressive back road driving so will ultimax be up to the task or will yellowstuff be a better shout.

Also if anybody knows of any better priced disks available or can talk me out of OEM vented and grooved disks that would be just as good

*edit* it is for a celica gt4 st205

No, because braking isn't balanced. The front does more work than the rear, the rear lifts due to weight transfer under braking so it's easy to lock rear wheels. I get it less now with my stiff ass coil overs and sticky tires but once my rear pads warm up they'll still lock wheels in the rear on command at speeds 40mph and under under hard braking. It feels nice under light braking like the car is more balanced but under hard braking it's detrimental, I can trip the ABS system so so easily now even with Dunlop Z2 tires on a warm summer day.
