My 200 passed it's first MOT at the weekend - car has done 24K miles. The mechanic who did the MOT commented that the front discs and pads will need changing in about 1000 miles. I can understand the pads, but the discs look fine to me (no ridge on the outside edge, and plenty thick enough). Is it best to change discs when pads are changed? If not, how can you tell when the discs need changing?
Related to all this, I have been looking at options if everything does need changing. I think I will go for Ferodo DS2500 pads (I had them on my S2000 and really liked them), and I think I would like to go for Brembo HC grooved discs. Where's the best place to get these from, and if I change the fronts do I need to change the backs to the same type of disc and pad?
Thanks in advance,
Dave.
