Can't you get Hi-Specs or something aftermarket to replace them? Probably not a lot of difference in cost.

It probably would actually be cheaper getting blanks milled

I know. Horrible money. Might have to convert it to Cortina drums or something (better handbrake turns at least).

Apparently they are really heavy on back brakes too, which is why they're so big.

I'll be similarly fucked if I ever have to put new fronts on the RS. (308mm custom discs)
