I had an advisory for my brake discs on my last MOT so am looking to get a nice set of front ones, I have a 1.4i 1998 citreon saxo westocast, i think the correct measurements for my frint discs are

247mm x 20mm but am unsure, im gonna get these

Can someone tell me if their anygood or not or if there the wrong discs, im looking to get drilled and grooved but if i shouldnt please let me know

If anyone has anywhere else thats better to buy discs from please let me know

Many thankx

Vince

they seem to be fine by me mate, similar to my discs. but change the pads aswell to ebc or any other performance pads as normal pads will just burn out when you brake.

they look ok, i just dont want to pay an arm and a leg for them

I could get these but i think there the wrong discs

Is that right

Nah, just somewhere for cracks to form, they're lighter though.

Discs are discs. The money you spend on flashy discs could be much better spent on uprated pads.

Plain discs or grooved if you really must.

grooved eat through pads like mad and drilled tend to crack. your better off with solid vented discs. Are you aure the westcoasts run vented discs?

Nah that was from God Speed Brakes, got a link to them on the RR.

All swings and roundabouts now anyways, I did want rotors & bells but for that price I just redrilled some stock discs instead. Job done.
