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

You can mix and match as long as it's the same set of pads per axle. Track cars always run different front and rear pad compositions for exactly the reasons above, often even switching pad compounds for different tracks or types of driving event. I don't really understand what you're trying to say but it sounds like you're hung up on brand names more than function, in which case get whatever pads have the coolest looking stickers and call it a day.
