I would not bother, instead fit plain discs and spend the money saved on proper pads.

I have plain discs, mintex m1144 pads and minispares 7.5" calipers, and it is actually better than my 8.4" with blackstuff pads!

Nice timing; I have just bought a used 7.5" set-up and need disks aswell.

I've had a play with a set of the Tarox drilled ones, and I wouldn't fit them.
Metric is for people who can't do fractions. |

Unbolt the drive flange then. I dont think anyone on TM is particularly worried about how long there pads last otherwise we wouldnt build stupidly fast cars I seriously doubt it! |

You can't unbolt the drive flange on a 7.5" disk... it's kind of integral.

Slightly off topic, but could someone tell me if it's worth upgrading to 7.5" 4-pot calipers? Right now I got the stock 7.5" Cooper S setup.

Stupid power or not, fitting something that you know is a bad part to you braking sytem is just lunacy. you should be able to get in from the back with a whirly (de burring tool) to get the front side of the hole, also a flat file across the front of the disc and a round file through the hole would of removed the burr in the end as well. Edited by wez on 3rd Dec, 2011. one day boost will be mine!

Doesnt drilling 'and' grooving brake discs tend to weaken them a lot and subject them to cracking, especiallu on the smaller discs?

I got a set of grooved 7.5" disks from Min-its years ago (5 angled slots each side) and run them with the stock S calipers and 1144 pads for about 10+ years and 60k miles. No cracks, pads still have life in them and disks only need replacing now. I think the grooves help keep the pad/disc surface clear of debris and help life slightly. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

with holes and grooves you loose more area on a already small disc!

I've just ordered a set of non drilled, non grooved ones. It'll be right for my car. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:
