The early 291mm discs were undrilled, with the swap to 304mm drilled ones happening in Sep 2000. There are 4 and 6 bolt CP5200 calipers fitted to early cars and the 4 bolt ones will only take a max 304mm disc. Mine had 6 bolt ones with standard solid 291mm discs originally.

There are 2 sizes of rear discs, with the larger ones fitted to RR/S cars along with the 322 fronts.

The Reyland alloy bell and 330 disc combination is a fair bit lighter than the one piece 322 drilled discs.

Just ordered these for my tuscan to fit my 5200 calipers, they are very nice
They are but just be aware that the discs rust very quickly if left unprotected when it's damp.
