As you can see from the before pic the standard size discs have had some hard times lol
The new ones should be upto the job a lot better
I am also going to change the 2wd cossie rear discs for the vented 4x4 ones.

Thats how we order them from Brembo
All they do is just stick a Brembo, Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo etc logo / sticker on it depending on which dealer it goes to.
