Im looking at getting a whole new set of discs and pads all round for my type r and i've been looking at some of the Black Diamond parts. For discs and pads all round its going to cost just shy of £390 but seeing as im not too clued up on brake parts/brands I thought i'd better ask you guys before I even think about parting with any cash!

Any suggestions for other good makes would also be appreciated.

Cheers in advance,
Aaron

I had them on my turbo Lexus and they were great.
