Black front Discs

[Cjmeek]

Hey guys had a search around and could not see any pics of anyone with Black front discs. Anyone got any?

When the time comes to replace I'm thinking of going for these, black front discs with Front and Rear Ferodo DS2500 Pads

had those on my RB the black is only a coating which comes off when you apply the brakes

 

[N0ddie]

The braking surface will only be black until you apply the brakes. I dont see any benefit to having "temporary" black discs.

I think the idea is that the rest of it doesn't rust and the grooves stay black?

 

[henderson]

The rest of the disc stays black and doesn't rust,looks a hell of a lot better,I've got the brembo black edition front discs and DS2500 pads mate,they work really well,don't think the discs are any better than standard but the grooves help to take the sheen off the pads after a hard day and look brilliant, The pads on the other hand are awesome,would defo recommend

How do you find the pads for day to day use though henderson? My car does a lot of shorter trips with the misses, I've always been a bit dubious of aftermarket pads in case they have to warm up first or are too grabby when cold making them a bit **** day to day

 

[henderson]

Totally fine for day to day use in my opinion mate,they don't need to be warmed up to work well and have good initial bite all the time,brake fade is greatly reduced as well I'd say,they do have a slight race type squeal at low speeds but I kind of like that!

 

[Cjmeek]

Nice one cheers lads! Thought they would've had a special coating or something to allow them to stay black even after braking

You got any pics of them Henderson?

 

[henderson]

At work mate I'll get u a pic or 2 in the morning

My Megane had these on when i bought it but I'm of the opposite opinion to you Henderson. I didn't like them at all and mine were rusty around the outside and the middle.

Though the previous owner of my car used it primarily as a track day car (still is actually )

not sure why u wouldn't like them tbh matey,they are the same as standard discs with grooves in i believe and standards work really well,sure yr brakes where working 100% as it very common for the calipers to seize if not serviced pretty regular

here's a few pics of mine after being on the car 6 months and covering 2k
