Brake disks

Post by Rachel » Thu Feb 05, 2009 11:19 am

Hello
I'm after the best place, cost wise, to get a pair of brake disks for my '95 Turbo please anyone? GFS have quoted me £30.10 per side I guess that wasn't with VAT, is that good or can I get them cheaper? (I'm sure I have seen cheaper on eBay)
Thanks ;)

Why I thought rears were wanted no idea. Fronts are £11 from the same place. Or you can get Brembo vented discs for £54 delivered from www.potn.com just ring them up.

I wasn't very clear, I didn't even state that I needed fronts Image

Anyway, fronts were what I needed, and have found at a reasonable price.
Cheers for the suggestions ;)
