Delphi Lockhead brake discs - 659FBE
No experience with disks (although I have never had a problem with any make), but the Delphi pads are amongst the best I have fitted. These pads achieve a very good compromise between wear and pedal effort, don't generally squeal and don't absorb too much water when cold, leading to excessive snatch first thing in the morning. Disk surface condition is generally very good after a period of use. The final bonus is that the lining material is usually a light colour. This means that together with the low rate of wear, the front wheels don't look so dirty after heavy use.

Yes, basically GM's Delphi spin-off bought out Lockheed brake co. Lockheed are one of the best names in the business. I have used many of their discs with no problems at all.

from Wiki...

With the decline of the British Motor Industry, and increased competition from manufacturers in Europe, AP saw its sales shrink. The Leamington Spa site was gradually reduced, until the business was broken up, and its mainstream automotive division was sold in 2000 to Delphi Automotive Systems. The braking division, The Lockheed Hydraulic Braking Company, was sold to an Indian multi-national, who supplies brake systems under the name Caparo AP Braking. [3]
