    Could well be wrong on this one, but I think the eBay seller that does these deals don't use EBC discs. Not sure what brand they are but I think that's why the actual brand isn't mentioned for the discs alongside the EBC pads. As I said though, could be totally wrong about that and they still look like great discs.

    yer mate i've used EBC discs many times now and i dont recall seeing a 20 groove application,
    I have HOWEVER seen a few supplier who sell the EBC standard discs and offer a "Grooving" service (And i dont mean some cheeky John Travolta dancing!),
    Could be wrong but personally EBC tend to keep thier standard groove ratio pretty sub-10

    They look ace though dans matey,

    Well spotted.. Yes the advert is well worded hehe


    Yeah they arent EBC discs, the cheapest turbogroove discs Ive seen on ebay are £128.99+delivery then about £45 for the EBC green pads. I thought anything could be an improvement over what I have so, we shall see how it goes.

    Incorrect the grooves deglaze pads..its the drillings on some discs that can cause cracking this why ebc have a closed drilling and dont go all the way through..excess numbers in the grooving can cause excess pad ware tho..
