Which other discs will fit the tuscan? i know i have redrose brakes up front but im not sure if the rears were always the same?
I know the calipers are off a cossie.

Will need new discs soon but dont fancy paying the nearly 300 i have seen advertised.

The discs are TVR specific. The calipers are Sierra but the hubs are Jeep. A few people have looked into this over the years but AFAIK nothing has come up.

RR/S versions also have larger rear discs than std Tuscans.

The standard TVR S/RR rear brake set-up requires new/modified rear hub carriers - first hurdle.

Once you have this, you may wish to consider discs built as bells and rotor sepcials (but based around an easily available rotor). It's not as bad as you think price wise, and the rotors will be cheap when discs wear out.

The standard set up is much more balanced than the red rose or S set up, which has too much rear bias.

I found my standard set up too rear biased. Using S size fronts with standard rears is much better on mine.

Well i checked today and they are definately red rose discs on the rear, i couldn't measure properly acuratley but it looks like the discs are 296mm, def bigger than 280 anyway. The car does seem to be a proper red rose as it had 'red rose' scrawled across the rear bulkhead in marker pen smile seems all i'm missing is the cr box frown which is unfortunate.

I have never thought them to be rear biased at all, main feel is certainly from the front.

RR never came with the CR box.
