TRW disks and pads are excellent for a good price.

Many here also say MTEC.

EBC discs and pads are my new favorite , come with a anti rust coating as well.

Does the anti-rust coating work?

Looks like £223 for all 4 corners (Kit PD40K1284) - https://www.ebcbrakeshop.co.uk/info-...2&engine=2&bhp=


'Thermic black anti corrosion coated'

The thing is, that surface rust, does it make any difference to the life of the discs as it's on a non working part.---

The edge of the disc is a working part and this is coated too but the quality of the disc is better overall
With the eicher discs , they get a rusty covering on the swept area after it rains.
The ebc discs don't get this so I assume its a better quality steel used to make the discs.
