Hi all need new brake discs on my corsa b with wilwood 4 pot midlite calipers. i need the 280mm ones i had a quote from a company on ebay motorsports tools and they want nearly £200 for a pair of discs which seems ridiculous. I will try rally design but they arent open until tuesday.
Where does everyone else buy theirs? any help is appreciated
Thanks Gary

Right back to square one meriva discs aren't thick enough and won't fit from front to back the wilwood disc is about 50mm the meriva one is only 42mm there seems to be a really deep hub on the wilwoods. I've priced up the correct discs and they are nearly £200 a pair which seems ridiculous where has everyone else bought theirs from surely u didn't pay that help needed please

From what I worked out in the past, they use Golf disc's. From memory they are for a MK2 GTI.
