Apparently there is no such thing as disc 'warping':

Congrats on the buy. I might give them a go myself, as I don't think my brakes have been replaced for years. They are really rust and I have the same problem as you. Although when I brake hard they work fine. So is it a case of if its not broken don't fix it? :lol:

Oh, that pissed on my fire! :lol:
Good job I didn't buy them then. Could you post some examples of cheap front disks and pads that will fit my 4th?

Contact the seller and ask him the measurement, he could be listing for the 2.2 but hot the detail wrong. I will have a hunt about for you.

I've had these in my shed for yonks! Don't know if they would possibly fit? Can't find much information on size etc. They are 4 stud. I know they are not vented or drilled or anything but as I wouldn't have to spend any money hopefully they would fit?

I've also got some Mintex front pads for a Civic in the shed too would these fit?

Been searching ebay and really confused now on what I should get as I've searched 2.2 92 brakes and this is what comes up:

Why would there be such a big difference in price and listed as exactly the same thing? Euro parts want £36.60 per disk and then I've have to add on extra £20 at least for pads. I know I seem like I'm being a tight ass but if I've already got something that's brand new and fits I think that makes more sense! :lol:
