Has anyone used THESE?
They are available in drilled / grooved etc and have a long lasting anti corrosion coating.
They seem to be reasonably priced as well. |

They say they are good quality Vijay - but they would say that wouldn't they?
I like the way they are not supposed to rust - and they have got to be better than Milners etc |

I'm sure I've come across Mtec plenty of times, so got to be worth a try. Never heard of a complaint.......................... |

I think that they may be worth a try - but not until the summer, I don't work on my drive in the winter! |

I thought of Blueprint Greg - then I saw the Mtec ones that are not supposed to rust.
There is enough time for me to decide which to go for before the summer. |

I've been using their drilled and grooved ones on mine for the past year and a half, no complaints here about them.

Are the holes in drilled disks at risk of filling up with mud when off-road? Just thinking that it could then cause excessive pad wear. |

That's good to know - thanks Nick.

Mine never sees mud Simon - but I have heard that there is more chance of drilled discs cracking, but maybe on high performance cars where the discs get more vicious use.
I would probably go for the C-hook ones. |

I don't blame you at all Pete. I am still finding lumps of clay on mine from last February.

The worst bit is the mud that gets into the chassis box sections Simon. |

Yes, I've discovered that the hard way! I've got one or two big lumps in the cross-member under the engine. When I fit my new undertray (replacement for missing item) I will attack the lumps with a screwdriver and hope that they break up. Still, we had a good day and the Challenger was so much better in the clay than my mate's LR 90! So no regrets at all. |
