Superb! what are those rear discs off adam? I have some for mine, tried to fit them and they are way way too big! mine are thin like that and not vented either but they are massive, nearly the size of the front cossie discs! I have been told I need xr4x4 rear discs or granada as they are all the same, what are yours?
