Does it not have an impact with grooved/dilled etc
I am no expert on this but brake performance is not all about pads surely
drilled is a load of balls, doesnt do anything except stand a chance of cracking round the holes.
grooved has minor advantages with removing pad glazing

Steve I feel you need more activities outside of the interwebz to keep you stimulated.
I also do not get this thread and all I have learnt from it is that EBC were apparantly shit 2 years ago but now have a new formula and are ok 
The other 7 pages are just bickering.

The same reason as they paint the calipers red really.

The interweb says that
Grooved takes the glazing off the pad & Drilled aids cooling.
I have seen cheaper drilled discs crack so i tend to shy away from them.

See how ridiculous that sounds, therefore using the term non stop in any sort of serious manner is equally as ridiculous (yes im aware you werent being serious there)
