Best to measure them - IME, the sizes are not always consistent for a particular variant.

not easy with old rusty discs mate, the 283's could look like 288 with the added rust factor !

Fitted Mtec cross drilled and grooved discs, i figure the car deserves them as it has some of the best most stable braking systems . just beding in but they seem to bite nicely :-) they cost £68 which i thought was reasonable as i was looking at £55 for stock.
