    Default Are these discs worth it?

    I know they aren't carbon discs before anyone thinks the title has me fooled, but an alleged longer life and better braking effiency (according to a video of a guy that rates them) sounds too good to be true.

    And they're cheap for a branded set.

    Wouldn't say 'branded' per say, but they are cheap and high carbon content steel is good

    They are not an upgrade they are the same grade as OEM parts (in the south American market)

    Look ok though for the money personally id go for a quality known product

    Yeah I was thinking should I just get better quality pads, so far its 50/50 and Stuarts comment includes some technical information.

    I'll have a browse at cheaper discs and decent pads then decide.

    Why bother, good pads would be a preference other an expensive disc
