What are the 304mm disc options? I just can't seem to understand how the AP discs not even including bells can cost so much.

Unfortunately when it comes to brakes you get what you pay for... that said, I wouldn't recommend the AP 304 for a VX as the wall thickness is so thin so you can only get away with them on a light car without heat cycling becoming an issue. The Alcon 304 is far more stable in my experience.

The Alcon 304 rotors are about £205 each , retail. Plus your S/S cap head bolts and lock nuts , bells and caliper spacers, you can spend anything from £200 to £600 on these extras easily. EP do their own basic kit starting at under £300

/pikey/ put 308mm vaux discs on and some spacers... cost about £80 all in for the fronts /pikey/ I didnt feel any form of improvement though as you wouldnt expect to with only 10mm extra radius.
