The standard size is 273mm I believe. I use Black Diamond disks on road and track days. Grooved not drilled.

Pads are the other issue. Depends on what you are doing with the car.

You will need a brake caliper piston wind back tool.

I bought this one last week from Machine Mart, £11.98cheapest I could find it, most others were £35'ish great tool did the job perfectly. (btw I fitted Mintex Discs and pads)
