Tarox Sport 282mm Front Discs

Post by NafemanNathan » Thu Jun 04, 2015 10:31 pm

I ran these on my red 4th gen for a short time, but removed them soon after the car had been parked up, 5 years ago. They've been dry stored in my house ever since.

These are wicked discs :twisted: They gave great stopping power, even with basic Mintex pads!

I was going to re-drill them for the 5th gen, but I opted to get a new matching set of front discs to match my new rears instead, so these are now definitely surplus.

There is surface rust on them as you'd expect, but I've very quickly gone over one of them with a bit of sand paper to show how well they come up with minimum effort. I'd say they're worth spending a little more time on and painting the bell, which is also what I was going to do...

I've measure each one at approximately 12, 4 and 8 o'clock to show how much life is left (Should be 23mm new) and just how evenly worn they are...

These normally retail at best part of £300. This is the cheapest place I've found them...

I'm after £100 plus postage (which I'd imagine is between £10 and £15 due to their weight).
