Try another brand IMO - EBC are shit.

That's from a mate who works at the foundry in Poole who make them - they use a different material to most and they have all sorts of Quality issues during production...

Plain discs with uprated pads ftw unless you're going for multi piston calipers.

They are. You can get better. Black Diamond may do them (LMF Sell/Sold them as a upgraded disc for the 288mm 4-Stud Conversion Kit)

A couple of quotes from a thread on VxON when someone bought an EBC Front setup.
You need to be registered to read the link - http://www.vauxhallownersnetwork.co.uk/showthread.php?196810-Some-goodies-arrive!&highlight=uglymonkey

The discs (308mm) and pads (AP Calipers) on the Vec needed replacing ...








:lmao: nice to see my brakes are in good company - check the 'applications' list on the side of the box:-

Oooooh EBC Discs... Good Luck with them!

Got a Friend that works for the Company that makes these EBC Discs (Precision Disc Castings, down here in Poole) - they suffer all sorts of QC Issues on the EBC Sports Discs due to them using a different Material or finishing technique to the Normal discs they manufacture there.

... and exactly two months after fitting them I've just had to replace the front pads which were almost down to the backing plates

... discs look like crazy paving with tiny random cracks all over the place ...

DLAC ... apparently so ... can't have done more than 3k on the set ...





Be wary IMO.

if its 288mm you want the calibra v6/ turbo 4wd brakes but listing them as 5 stud.

Ill email black diamond and ask if they list a 288mm disc in 4 stud.


I can do you decent discount off list price by the way

I know this is the full kit, and I know it's through LMF who are like Demon Profit when it comes to their pricing on a fair bit, but, they offer a 288mm 4-Stud Black Diamond range of discs as upgrades in the kit - so they MUST be available somewhere...

http://www.lmfvauxhall.co.uk/store/product.php?productid=16345&cat=2307&page=1

So, either wait for the info posted above me to come back, or call LMF and see what they can do RE Black Diamond discs

I've only seen and heard good things regarding them, never heard or seen any good about EBC.

How do you plan on fitting 288mm discs to sport brakes...? I know what you mean but tbh for the difference in price it's not really worth it. But if I were you and wanted my b rakes to look good as well I'd just be going for grooved numbers - I've heard from a lot of people with dimpled discs that the dimples just fill up with brake dust.

What about these meriva brembo grooved 280mm ones?

When it says fixing holes does that mean 4 wheel bolt holes & 1 grub screw fixing hole or does it mean 5 wheel bolt holes?
