I'm about to buy new discs and pads for mine. The front discs were replaced about a year and a half ago but there's a bit of a "wobble" under braking from the front passenger side (although that seems to be getting better) so even though there's quite a bit of meat on them I'm planning on changing them.

All the suppliers I've seem seem to sell grooved and drilled discs from EBC and Terrafirma, or Brtprt. Can anyone recommend a decent disc that's not all boy racer drilled and grooved Fast and Furious stuff which seems singularly pointless on something like a P38?

Also, EBC Greenstuff - worth it? EBC Ultimax ones seem to be cheaper than the "normal" Delphi pads and people seem to like them. Any thoughts?

I went drilled and grooved on mine when I last changed them as I thought it might help with brake dust etc, and they seem to work fine. I think they were also part of a deal with the pads, from memory - however next time they are due I'll go with whatever looks up to the job.

I know you can get OEM solid discs, and to be fair anything which isn't in a blue box will do the job, it's just a big hunk of metal after all.

Pads.... I've heard good reviews about the EDC greenstuff, but don't personally think they are worth the extra money. I put EDC ultimax pads on mine and won't use them again. The rears took forever to stop squealing, even with copper grease and a shim in there. They still do it to this day when in reverse, and it still pisses me off. Next time I'll go for big standard pads as a brake place I went to when I'd first had the issue said the pads were pretty hard compound.

I'm guessing because the rear brakes on a P38 do very little of the stopping, they never get worn in properly, whereas a slightly softer pad would.

If you don't want "uprated" discs and pads, then I'd personally stick with either Lockheed/TRW or Delphi. Mintex pads are also supposed to be good (think that's what I took off mine before).

All I've ever used on mine are off the shelf at my local motor factors, Apec pads and never had a problem. Even when towing 4.5 tonnes of boat and trailer with no over-run brakes for the best part of 1,000 miles. Not for the P38 but I've bought Apec branded discs in the past for other cars and found Brembo stamped around the outside edge. I'd say go for OEM standard, as you say, the Fast and Furious might be good for something with the same power but half the weight but aren't necessary on a P38.

Delphi it is.
