Both EBC and BD are pretty good, I'd go on price tbh.

Don't bother with drilled - stick to spotties (EBC) or grooved (BD).

I know that EBC have both (grooved and spotted) but do BD??

I had BD ones on my AX GT many moons ago and they were probably the best brakes that i've tried so far but I cant remember if they do both

i have a story to tell

had my v-tuning 2litre 16v calipers and disks fitted couple of months ago and as i drove of from the garage one of the bolts SNAPPED on the left caliper and IMMEDIATLY locked the wheel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was only travelling at 5mph at the time! can you imagine if i was doing 50MPH and above!! i would be DEAD!

so mate if i was you i would GET NEW BOLTS TOO! only about £1 each from vaux!!
i guess it really depends on the condition of your bolts... but your meant to change tem EVERY time you take them of!!!

Are they drilled all the way through or just spotted as the drilled ones tend to crack
