Car failed MOT on pads, Should I change the stock disks at the same time?

So cars failed on pads at the front, taken it away so I can order some HP2000 or DS2500, stock disks have some life in them still.

Is it worth changing them for some grooved disks at the same time or will it not make much of a difference in regards to stopping?

Should I just put some HP2000 on the stock disks?

Thanks, Cam
 
Won’t make any difference on a purely road car but If you go on track, grooved discs help with cooling the pads down.
Hope you are aware that DS pads are not approved for road use, just saying.

Yeah that’s why I’m leaning towards the brembo hp2000
 
What did you have on?

Currently everything is stock, for the sake of £200 for some grooved black diamond disks I think I’ll change them.

Be interesting to see if disks and HP2000 pads make any difference to stock set up
