240 x 24 vented Sierra discs from Brakes International. £11.21 each and no problems at all in 4000 miles. Never faded on track or on the road.

Standard fit on 1.6 litre '92 Sierra.

Save money and weight: go for standard discs.
Uprate the pads by all means.
Vented discs often run too cool, are heavier and more expensive.
Drilled discs crack and explode if bad enough.
Grooved discs just eat your brake pads....
