Early 8v and 16v had 280mm dia discs and apropriate pads.

Later versions had 288mm discs and appropriate pads.

VR6 had the 288mm discs and pads. (Not 100% sure if the early VR6 had 280mm version)

All the 280mm versions are the same and all the 288mm versions are the same.

Yep, there is quite a price difference from the 280 and the 288 disks.

When I had my mk3 some numpty put 280mm disks on my 1997. The pads were ruined.
