I notice my 2011 SD could do with discs. I looked on Euro car parts and see they have Brembo drilled/grooved and thought they look nice and sporty.

Is it worth the extra cost, are they any advantage to fitting them.

What discs would you recommend.

brembo are good products grooved and drilled and grooved discs help the pads bite and clear dust and extra metal surface within the holes improves removing heat off the surface where the pads bite,, if you add EBC pads its will change the brakes a lot,

All the sites I look at list a 280mm disc and a 294mm.

Without taking the wheels off and measuring how would I know.
This is my spec from dealer.

go to europarts and stick your reg number in parts finder and go to brake discs see what they list for it. what year and model is yours

That's the problem, Euro and GSF list 280mm (Vehicle Equipment- For vehicles without sports package) and lists 294mm. for vehicles with sport package.

Mine is a LCI model 2.0SD which I understand to be "Sport Diesel.

give them your reg number on messages or phone them, failing that then drop wheel off measure it. me i would drop wheel of and measure it for piece of mind, nothing worse than having wrong parts and car in bits
