What's up with those already fitted? My car's still on it's originals (certainly haven't been replaced in the last 70 000 miles) .............. 163 000 miles later. The rears don't do that much braking, I can't really see yours being worn enoughto have to replace them yet.  :-/ :-/ :-/

i have upgraded my rear discs to vented discs, and also the front to drilled and groved :).
vented and drilled + grooved are just to disperce heat more so you dont warp your disc :)
