"Warped" front rotors, need new. which?
«

1996 8v. Does that make it 288 or 280? I guess the two are interchangeable?
Anyway, the rotors are "warped", which is totally misleading (

).. Does anyone have a link for a new front set? Good oem quality. Would also appreciate links for drilled or ridged rotors
Cheers.

1996 should be 288mm but you will need to check as vw fitted what ever they had in stock
search for ebc brakes for decent quality (and they have a choice of grooved etc)

^They'll be fine as your very unlikely to cook the brakes on an 8v....don't forget to use the 25% off forum code.
