Do I have to upgrade brake discs with M1144 pads?

I've just got myself some M1144 pads, I've got new discs already but they are plain vented ones, do i need to get grooved or drilled?


If so can you recommend a cheap source?



Cheers

Alex, the discs you have will be fine, if you want to upgrade your discs go for grooved NOT drilled, as drilled discs have a tendancy to crack :roll: in my experience :x

Cool, as it seems a waste not to use the existing new discs that I already have.

Standard Sierra ones, can't afford Willwoods and the rest seem to get bad press...
