Hi all
my front passenger calliper has become a bit stiff and warped my disk slightly.
I am going to replace both front callipers and do the disks and pads all round.
my question is. is it worth getting drilled & grooved type or should I just stick to standard type, is it worth the extra price of the drilled grooved type?

Id go with grooved but you don't really need drilled.

Grooved will give you better braking in the wet the first time you hit the pedal.

In a word, no. The braking system of the IS200 is more than capable. The front discs on an IS200 are the same size as an R32 GTR Nissan Skyline 2.6 Turbo.
