I found these on eBay and was wondering if anyone had used them? are they any different to standard?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COROLLA-T-SPORT-FR-RE-DRILLED-GROOVED-BRAKE-DISCS-PADS-/320525114763?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4aa0c91d8b#ht_2079wt_907

If these are no good can anyone recommend any good uprated brakes?

If you look on eBay you can get a full set of STD discs & pads for £99 delivered, add to that a set of Ferodo DS2500 front pads & you'll be cookin on gas for roughly the same money!

The discs in your eBay link will reduce braking force because there is less surface area.

better to get these instead and cheaper too... (to the best of my recollection, they're just the same size/fit as the standard T-sport) perhaps someone could correct me or corroborate

http://www.mtecbrakes.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7_35_62&products_id=15016

although i'd replace the pads with ferodo ones (for the front at least, i'm not entirely sure if they would be the same as the back, they don't sell rear ones)

does anyone have a good suggestion for some rear pads? mine are a little worn after a year or two and a rather energetic weekend in the highlands.

i have the mtec discs, just the grooved ones as i dont like drilled discs and they are good, very good. thats about all i can say lol its worth the money (£56 quid for front discs and £20 for pads), havn't made them fade yet :thumbsup: gives a lot more confidence

Another +1 for the MTEC disc set. Cant fault them

The black coating that they do looks nice! it will probably stop the discs rusting too

sorry to Hijack but..

Since upgrading my wheels from 15" to 17" should I buy bigger/better brakes?

You don't need to, I would imagine it would cost a few quid to do it too

im running m tec grooved and mintex pads with braided hoses from fensport, that does my braking needs to the full.

I thought about a big break kit when i fitted 17" alloys but spending £500 just for looks if overkill!

Any will be better than what you have at the moment, I think most of us have gone for drilled and grooved

how do these m-tecs feel under your foot

im guessing that the overall strength with there pads might be a bit higher, but youd need braided hoses for a much stronger feel

as for the drilled versions , has anyone suffered from cracking around the holes or severe fatigue

cheers ,need my rears changing

No cracking on mine and the feel under foot seems to have got better as they have bedded in

For those who have bought from Mtec what brand of discs did you get?

I've bought from them before for my last car but this was 5 years ago and I got Delphi ones sent, just wondering if they're still the same?

I've also seen these on eBay and they said they send either Mintex or Blueprint discs, depending on what's in stock.
