Default Brake disks - advice needed

disks have been warped on my car for a while now. Was told when i bought the car they were cossie disks. Took it to my local garage and he had cossie disks delivered, but they were the wrong fittment to go on the hub? (i think).

1. did he possibly get 4wd disks instead of 2wd disks, and thats why they dont fit?

2. Will 2wd disks go on an rs turbo no problems i.e. straight on and no need to change calipers?

4x4 disks are smaller than 2wd disks, 2wd disks fit erst hub but i dont know about 4x4 disks??

No, u need too move caliper out to fit 2wd disks, 4x4 calipers 2wd disks is the easy conversion!!

The calipers fit although need spacing by 8-10mm iirc. You also need 2wd discs not 4x4 ones.

sorry i meant to say do 4x4disks fit erst hubs? so is the holes pitched differently on 4x4 disks? ROLL GOLD DICE, didnt know if the disks he got wer 4x4 or 2wd ones, i surpose he cld measure um 2wd are 285mm and there would be no chance of fitting them under the erst calipers either!

I think you cant fit 4x4 discs bcos they are smaller discs and i think you can use erst calipers with special made brackets
