    (40 GROOVES PER DISC ) MY ARSE!

    More like 20 from that pic.

    EBC pads suck aswell, Mintex are the best (even tho I dont have Mintex)

    remember theres 2 sides to the disc lol, but i agree on the ebc pads, the ones i had were crap, especially when cold.

    I had some EBC pads before, they were pooh.

    From what I've read Mintex are good, shame they don't make discs though.

    i had ebc on the front of mt gt3 and they were better than the origanal ones, but i have not tried the mintex and from what ive heard once you've tried them you wont go back.

    also they are listed as 94-99 but the pads change at 96/97 so if you did buy this set up you would need to check you were getting the right pads.
    the discs are the same 94-99.

    Ive got a part number for mine I think, Ill just find it.

    For a GT, Mintex pads part number MDB1734 from mintexonline user on ebay.

    They are the GT3 version with the ears, calipers made by ATE.

    Mintex discs to fit - MDC615.
