which GT TDI?

as the 130 & 150 had 288mm standard but the 115 was smaller

personally i wouldn't put "cheap" discs or pads on mine as you never know when you'll need them.

i'd try www.gsfcarparts.com

you need to change the pads if you're changing the discs too

Use your local motor factors, and the amount you save waiting and on postage could be put to cover the difference for green or red road spec pads, well worth the extra few pennies, if you do the discs too you would only need cross drilled to get the benefits, slots can be harsh on your pads. Take the wheel off and check the caliper you got before you order or get your bits, all the details will be on there, and measure the disc that will help alot too, shop around your factors though some are cheaper, i've used pcs, ces and romac in the derby area, all seem to be good stuff and all around the same prices.  :wink:
