I'm after all 4 OE brake discs - must be unused. Anyone got some sitting around that they want shot of, before a call to LMF?

I am replacing my OE discs for cross drilled and grooved and only been on the car for 3k miles, you are welcome to them.

Thanks Cliffie, but I'm really after new

No brave pills needed, fully plan to fit myself as well as new pads a new cat and exhaust. (If I can get Sunday off, negotiation with spouse required here)

it's cheaper to buy a "2001> 288mm vectra B front brake disc kit", that includes 2 x OEM discs and a pair of oem brake pads for the vectra, sell the brake pads on ebay and the discs work out even cheaper if you just ask for the front brake discs they are more expensive, I have no idea why

Beware of the cheap ones on ebay - they are 286mm dia, not 288mm; though I'm not sure it would really matter

[vocky]

the 286mm are for the smaller engined astra/zafira, I know that as we tried to fit my old 288mm discs to a 1.6 zaf and they were just slightly too big

But they're advertised for the VX on ebay I sent a question to the seller, he said he'd sold 10's of sets to VX owners and never had anyone come back with issues, but all the same...

Thanks - sorted

I know YorB is sorted for disks but I just wanted to update this thread incase newbies did a search. I ordered a set of 4 brake disks from ebay advertised as 286mm for £50 + delivery. (I thought it was worth the gamble seeing as 2mm is bugger all really) Anyway after them arriving I measured them and they are in fact 288mm and are allied nippon parts so the same pattern parts that camskill use! So I saved about £50 using ebay.
