If you ring Ross at Meridian you get 20% off the price of discs.

That’s what I’m going to do. Works out a saving of about 340 quid if you get front and rears.

Just to wrap this thread up, cancelled the one-piece Tarox discs and went OEM, dealer confirmed the correct sport part (note there is a part number variation here). Purchased from Eurospares at a similar cost to the Tarox. Sport front disc actually MY2011 onwards, part #257141, drilled & grooved, all fitted with the earlier mentioned yellow stuff pads, brakes now have a reassuring and progressive feel about them.

Excuse the unwashed image, here's hoping this helps someone..

Bit of a thread resurrection...

Hoping that I don't need new front discs (will get Autoshield to check thickness tomorrow), but if it comes to the worst, what's the latest wisdom on discs and pads?

The prices of fronts appears to be extortionate from my research so far.

Car is 2009 GTS MC. Thanks.

Given that Geoff only put some discs on your car a few months ago I suspect you will be ok. There are some things in the works on this, so bear with us.

I don't think the fronts have been touched because there's a lip on them. Will ask Marios at Autoshield tomorrow. I really hope they're good for a while yet.

I didn't put new discs on the front as there is plenty of life left in them.
I asked the MOT man last year and he reckoned about another 5-10,000 miles which with the mileage I did was about 2 years time.
