What are the advantages of grooves? Obviously holes actually let air move a bit and I guess there is a small weight saving, grooves look like cutting edges to the pads! I recon I will go with decent quality mintex or maybe EBC road pads, just for peace of mind over dirt cheap chinese pads.
Definately AVOID chinese pads. A lot of aftermarket parts are made in china now and some of it is ok but two areas to avoid are brake pads and bushes/control arms etc (basically anything with rubber in it)
The discs in the picture are ATE power discs. ATE are the OE supplier to most of the German automakers and are part of the continental group. The ATE stuff is of very good quality and made in Germany.
Edit. Some ATE discs are made in spain and Italy but all are made in EC.
