    Question Best 302 discs guys :)

    Hi all just wondering what everyone's opinions are here regarding the 302mm discs upgrade! Kinda had my eye on these!

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/850-T5R-95...item439b69411e

    But not sure on my options! Should i go drilled and grooved? or just grooved? or just drilled? any help or advice would be greatly appreciated thanks

    If its every day driving ide personally go for original as with grooved discs you do get a light clicking when braking

    I've tried many different combinations of discs and pads. Genuine Volvo discs and pads are the best option.

    I was going to try some DS2500 pads on my standard 850 T5 discs, anyone know the best place to get these (sorry for the slight thread OT)?

    £75 for the rears is about right.

    If you have somewhere that sells DS2500's for the front for £75, we need to buy a shed load a sell them on!

    Maybe that's where I'm getting confused.

    I did have a vague memory that larkspeed has DS2500 fronts for £85 when I looked a couple of months back, but these are now back at the prices mentioned above.
