TAROX grooved disks... look good....but are they a good buy?

[Zonda]

Hi guys, I'm looking into buying some performance disks.. and like these Tarox G88 disks! Just after your opinions....and if there are any problems with brakes like these? Thanks..


p.s If anyone has these or recommends other disks.....please let me know.. ta.

what car are they for? if its a 172/182 theres no need stick to o/e ones or brembo groupe n. also you'll get alot of brake dust & go through pads quicker with groved discs.

nick hill recommended them to me although my brakes are good enough

 

[BRUN]

ive had them twice before, and every time i come to put new discs on, ive tried something different, and the brakes havent been as good

they do rust a bit and dont look as good as new for very long, but they ARE good discs in my experience

What about Black Diamond discs..aren't they supposed to be good?

there good for v fast road. make sure you get the right pads, dont get anything other and ferodo or PFriction

 

[Fred@BTM]

don't bother, stick to Brembo GrpN

 

[klio]

great products

 

[BRUN]

Tarox G88 were better than Brembo Max im currently using

 

[GabrielKnight]

I was reading a great article on disks the other day (but can't remember where) and it said that the grooves should never go right up to the outside. Is this a design fault in the tarox g88 discs then?

 

[Tom]

No design fault.

 

[GabrielKnight]

So the article was wrong, the grooves should go right to the outside?
Or it doesn't matter?

 

[Tom]

Im sure the article details why, personally i cant see an issue.

Are they really that good ?

They dont have grooves at all do they ?

 

[Fred@BTM]

and you need grooves for what reason? is your name damon hill?

 

[Neil G]

Look good..that's about it

TBH they're probbaly a waste of money for road use

 

[D1CKY]

and you need grooves for what reason? is your name damon hill?

Lol

Dont the grooves reduce brake fade or is that drilled discs ?

Or am i speaking dribble ?

 

[Coby.]

If Fred says Brembo HC's then I'd listen to him cos that guy knows his stuff

 

[ditz]

imo everyone who has posted in this thread is wrong
its down to personal choice - buy them and compare them to the discs you had last.
only real way you can tell.
myself personally i would go brembos aswell

 

[DrR]

I wish i never put grooved discs on my car, can feel them grind and it annoys me.

dribble mate

 

[Jesse16v]

Oh and for my advice, don't go for drilled ones, from my experience they crack from the holes.

I assume in brembo HC the "HC" stands for high carbon?
Fred what pads would you suggest on those HCs that will last a reasonable time, but be good for fast road and occasional track use?

PS. I dont want anything thing thatll damage my wheels either.

 

[Fred@BTM]

ds2500's

hc = high carbon

upgrade the brake lines, thats the most important thing

 

[tom_dot_COM]

ds2500's & brembo high carbons it is then
wheres the cheapest place to get each of these?

I assume its just the lower brake lines I will have to upgrade? I had these on my pulsar and they seemed to sharpen everything up:

Doubt anyone can better that????

I assume these disks will last at least 2 sets of pads?
