Are they drilled, or will they fit?

I'd say go with the first set and use good pads such a Pagid, Forrodo, ect.

Cheers again for all ur help

 

Drilled I've seen advice no to, the undermine the disc and can cause cracks if overheated. As for discs specially, you get what you pay for... I've bought cheap discs from GSF for an E30 BMW and they warped within three months, never again. I'd buy those from VW, or take advice, but I reckon you probably get what you pay for with brakes.

Apologies for not being much help, I'm sure others know more than me, but I'd probably go with VW discs myself, not being a modded fan boy racer
