322mm drilled front and 282mm same rear.
wanted 330mm but not drilled available.
That's what I had, too. I prefer the OEM look, and they're certainly effective.wanted 330mm but not drilled available.

OEM, is that the only reason for sticking with drilled, is there any difference in performance?
It's a strictly personal thing, but I think the drilled 322mm look better - the standards were effective enough, TBH, but mine needed changing, and at the time, the 322's were by far the cheapest option. Even if they were more expensive, I still would have chose them.I am sure the grooved discs are great, too, but every time I have seen them on the cars, the grooves look oxidised, and never look as nice. I know looks aren't the be all and end all, especially for brakes, but as there's little wrong with the standard 304mm's (they're not having to stop a 2-ton SUV type monster), I preferred the trade off for the 322's.

One last question, if the fronts go 304 to 322, what happens with the rears, are people leaving the originals on or are the rears going up a size too?

I would have liked to change the rears at the same time, but apparently it's not as straight forward for larger diameter discs, so I still have the originals.One last question, if the fronts go 304 to 322, what happens with the rears, are people leaving the originals on or are the rears going up a size too?
