new front discs

[dancaz]

afternoon everyone! well the time has come to replace my brake discs. its a 2000 tuscan with factory red rose spec so i need the larger discs. just wondering if anyone has any recommendations of where's best to get them. fittings not a problem as my brothers a mechanic.


guess im just asking if anyone knows if i can get the front ones for less than £250 as im a bit of a cheapskate!!!

not sure if you can get the alloy bell RR discs through the dealers now, they will suggest you just go with the heavier one piece Tuscan S discs. You might want to try someone like joolz at trackcar solutions etc

thanks whitey, will drop them a line. any idea if they are as good as the originals????

[whitey]

sorry I meant to try one of the aftermarket places likes joolz or austec to see if they can provide replacement/similar discs like you currently have to enable you to keep your lighter alloy bells. The main dealers will just tell you they are no longer available and provide you with one piece Tuscan S discs which are heavier.

Is it easy enough to replace 2000 disks for drilled or vented ones on my tuscan

I had Joolz provide me with grooved discs and new bells for a Tuscan2S. They work like a charn and he really is a pleasure o deal with

If yours is an early car like mine, ie pre Sep 2000 then it will probably have vented but undrilled discs of 291mm dia. The drilled and vented ones fitted from Sep onwards are 304mm dia so you may need the matching larger calliper mounting blocks as well.
