Default Discs and Pads

Hi, I've just bought a car that's been stood for a while, the discs have deep rust indents in them and after doing 300miles nothing has changed, still the original discs, but loads of meat left,
Do I get it skimmed on a lathe,
Or replace with grooved discs
What do you guys reckon and which brands are good?

Cheers
Conrad

Just get in contact with Alyn at AS Performance and have a chat,

he will tell you your best options to suit your driving requirements and your pocket.

I can however recommend Performance Friction discs and pads as a good up grade..
