Brakes: 280 x 22 / 4x100 - what was delivered locally?

[tinto]

I'm having some trouble tracking down a G60 sized rotor in Australia.
280 x 22mm in 4x100 stud pattern.

What was delivered locally with this size / stud pattern? I've found the rotor listed under Seat, but it's 5 stud and I'd like to avoid redrilling / customization on a consumable item.

Admittedly I haven't called any brake specialists- that will be my next step.

I've just picked up the mk3 hubs for my MK2 GTI - next step was going to be sourcing some OEM gear to get a factory BBK going under my 15" wheels.

Was looking at the G60 calipers which seem to be available new or going down the Porsche Boxster Brembo path. One is about double the cost of the other (Porsche tax), but they both work with the 280x22 G60 rotor size.

I'll go overseas for them if the shipping isn't too bad, but rotors aren't exactly the cheapest thing to ship internationally, so I'm looking to balance the shipping cost with the quality of the rotor. I believe Brembo are still making this size.

This is a street car, so I'd prefer plain rotors over slotted, drilled or a combo of the two, but am open to checking them all out.

Any pointers much appreciated!

Seat Ibiza Cupra 16v is 280 4x100.

The Toledo with the ABF engine is 5 stud. Pretty sure the discs I had on that were multi drilled.

Call Brakes Direct. Greg or Matt will have something.

Drop JARRED a PM for some info. He's running 288 but he has widetrack, he's a big fan of 280mm on MK3 hubs.

Thanks guys

I'm looking at 280 disks off a Seat this weekend to suit my MK1. I'll let you know how I go.

Cheers

That would be good.

I've got an international option for some 288s, but they're from the UK and I'm not sure that will squeeze under 15".
its not like these are new items and there's a manufacturer creating a handy A4 template for me to cut out and check with!

When I mentioned 288's to JARRED he said they were only for MK2's fitted with widetrack front hubs off a MK3 (5 stud?). If you're running MK3 hubs with 4x100 studs I don't think the 288s will fit. 280s off a Seat are probably your best option, they are still 4x100 and you can use the MK3 calipers (with adapters to bolt up to the existing mounts).

Demon Tweeks sell standard (new) 280 x 22 disks for 75.97 pounds a pair. Slotted 117.86 pounds, cross drilled 141.89 pounds, etc.

All you then need are the adapters to fit your calipers.

Thanks for the tips.
Am heading down the Porsche Brembo path as a decent priced set came up over the weekend.
Will pick up these - https://www.bolt-action.nl/product/v...r-adapter-kit/
Along with their larger MC.

Rotors will be the last piece of the puzzle, so will spend a few more nights trying to be a cheapskate on shipping!

Actually.. I think that DT link is the best shipped price I've seen.
