    The new ones are GTR 4 groove 296mm x 32mm vented with GTR 4 pots front, 297mmx18mm vented with GTR 2 pots back. I havent fitted the rears yet as the GTR uses a different handbrake mechanism (drum) so gonna take a bit of fiddling.

    The old front disks have plenty left on them, could do with a slight skim as i wore the old pads right down. The old front calipers work fine, no sticky pots as you can see from the wear on the disks. They just need a good cleanup and paint really.

    I wasnt gonna sell them yet, i was gonna clean, repaint and then sell. But if your mate needs them then they'll be fine with a bit of elbow grease.

    Its for a work collegue ( M Pro ) - I'm sure he isn't shy of giving thing a bit of a clean.

    Discs would need some machining to fit the 4 stud hub anyhow


    how come you didn't go down the M3 route ?


    I need to get some of thoe brackets made up when I next get round to changing discs ( I use 300zx TT ones atm )

    M3 route = too expensive, and i wanted brakes that fit under my 16's (and i dont want anything german on my car TBH)

    New disks and calipers just bolt on and sit in exactly the right place, no need for brackets or any gubbins, just bolt on, and bleed.
