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 wink.gif

*edit* it is for a celica gt4 st205
