Default brake disc help..

Got my MOT coming up and I am going to fail due to the vibration in the front brakes.
I currently have a 285/24mm hi-spec billet 4 conversion, but want to swap to MK3 mondeo calipers and ST170 grooved 300mm discs, however, I will not be able to get that sorted before the MOT, so can anybody tell me what car these discs originally came from so I can buy a cheap pair until I can sort out the mondy/foci ones.
They are 285mm by 24mm vented, with a ford 4 stud pattern.
I have already sussed the pads as dp143 vovlo 98mmx60x16 and managed to get a set for £20.

any help much appreciated.

In all likleyhood, and having known Geoff for over 20 years, they will be actually 283mm cossie 2wd discs, in the very unlikely event they really are 285mm, 283mm would be fine anyway, so long as offset is ok.
