LOL i'm not surprised, they're probably brembos or similar. It's a similarly stupid price for discs on my 840, so I discovered a company in the US selling genuine drilled brembos for about $400 shipped anywhere in the US. Almost the same again to have them shipped to the UK so when I was in New York I had them shipped to my hotel and took them on the flight home with me! Needless to say I got some really funny looks and questions at the airport when checking in my rather heavy bag :D Collected it at the other end to discover it had been opened and resealed with tape covered in the TSA logo (basically the US security screening guys).

A lot of hassle yes but it saved me about £400!

Oh these discs are only 330mm front & rear, being a newer and more powerful car the ones on the VXR Monaro are probably bigger than that!
