Front discs on turbo 480

HELP!

I am a newbie turbo owner and have looked at the front discs. According to wisdom the fronts a ventilated, but on my 1990 turbo auto they are solid!They also look to have a 1" or so hub as paert of the disc.

WOULD VENTED DISCS BE A STRAIGHT SWOP?

The rear discs are solid and look the same as the fronts, also with a hub.

Any advice gratefully received!

Vented from 92onwards i think.

You need the calipers and i think brackets as well to upgrade, not just the disks.

Seconded! Yes you do need calipers and brackets.

Shame as theres a set on ebay now for Â£20 the pair!!!

you might also need bigger wheels, some of the smaller (pollux?) wheels on earlier cars wont clear vented calipers (i think)...
