Simple ish question really what would you recommend? Not looking to spend silly money
Last pair I got from ecp were pagid ones which have lasted well but have now warped so I need to get rid
Is it worth going to grooved discs? These have never really faded even with hard use

I was going to suggest pagid, but maybe not if you've knackered a set
standard mintex are good value
*waits for someone to tell me they're the same disc under different brand names

Personally can't stand grooved/drilled and grooved discs.. make an awful lot of racket, vibration through the brake pedal and have a tendency of cracking (drilled and grooved)

I've had Drivetec, Vetech - all the cheap brands and frankly, they're all wank. Brembos I can also safely include in that - the cheap ebay Brembo ones are terrible also - just warp instantly.
Went to a set of Pagids and not had a problem since - this is on my 306 mind.
