Would be great if someone could help..

I've already searched google, forums, etc etc can't find my answer.

Basically doing a full service on my car within the next couple of weeks. Now, rather then using oem brakes, I'm gonna do it proper.

Plan is MG ZR front carriers, calipers and discs.

Now the plan WAS to just use the original size discs for my car just better discs (stoptech). Then I thought f it and decided to go MG ZR 160 discs, if I can find this out..

The setup I want;

Discs - Stoptech (grooved)
Pads - Ferodo ds2500.

My question or should I say questions lol..

1- MG ZR 160 discs are 4x100, is that right?
2- Do StopTech do MG ZR discs? I'm having trouble finding StopTech discs for MG.

Reason I want that setup, is because after some research, both seem to work really well and I think for what I'm going to be using it for present and in the future it will be something I'm going to be happy with.

Any help would be great, thanks in advance!

Edit : Cars an EK3 still with D15Z6, but wont be staying D15Z6 for long, hence the brake upgrade now, while it needs doing anyway.

I've used to have MG callipers with discs and pads, but the big problem on this setup is the poor choise of pads.

To start MG has smaller pads area than ITR, more pads area means less fading.

The only pads i've founds are Mintex and EBC. As i don't like DS2500 and EBC i've moved to ITR setup with RC6 ... no more fadding even on tracks ;)
