Anyone know if these would fit a standard 2005 4.0 Tuscan (not S)?

The rear discs that are on the car at the moment aren't drilled or grooved btw

Assuming they are the same as MK1 Tuscan then no they will not. Are you trying to avoid AP Racing discs due to price ? Or you want a plain disc

Sorry, I've just looked at the car again and the rear discs are drilled.

I was looking around for alternatives because I'm sure someone has told me in the past that the rear discs were off a Sierra Cosworth

Depending on how fast you want them then Brummmie is selling some from July 2014. Look for the 330mm group buy front disc in the Cerbera forum

The discs are specific to TVR.

A Sierra is 4 stud and a TVR is 5 stud, so thats the end of that.
We will have Grooved or Drilled options landing July, in both rear sizes, aswell as fronts in 304 and 322mm, Drilled only, if you want grooved its 330mm.

Thanks for the update.

A difficult question for you given you are wanting to sell pads- The front pads are a world apart from any others I have used and are therefore biting harder and faster than normal. Will such a fierce pad on the rear complement or will a Ferodo 5200 (from memory) do enough? I would not want to be locking the back up on road tyres

It would simply revert balance to original, but with alot less pedal effort, and better feel, thanks to stiffer pad compound and a flat torque curve.
But many people on lots of different types of car play with front and rear pads, to get a preferred set up.

Looking forward to receiving my 330mm fronts and 297mm rears this week. Apparently I will be the 1st to get a 'full set' of front and rears, so feel quite privileged! I will post up when received and give a wee review thereafter with the ROTA's that I bought to replace the bend spiders.
Paul has been a pleasure to deal with BTW.

They are excellent. I posted a review of them a few weeks back. Gave them a real good work out with a 2 day 'track day' at Spa followed by a track evening at the Nurburg GP circuit.
I am running Brummies full pack of 330R's on the front and the grooved on the rears, with DS 2500 pads all round. Also have R888's for tyres.
Not once did they fade (I was on the 'full beans' so no Sunday driving here!) and held up swimmingly over an 8-10 lap run.
Paul Chance is also excellent to deal with. I am a happy customer and I would highly recommend.
