I've posted in the Wanted section but need this to be seen by the relevent people asap.....so appologies for the 'double post'.

I need a set of disks for my 325 Tourer, ideally used and cheap but with plenty of life in them. I'm going to the Ferrybridge meet so it would be ideal if I could pick some up from someone there as postage will be a killer.

Anyone have a set going spare?

There not that expensive from GSF/ECP,

Surely 2nd hand brake disc's are hardly the way to go.

Do they not wear in different ways depending on the pads, calipers etc etc and using them with different pads etc etc may cause "wobbles" at the least.

You might well be right about the dangers of using 2nd hand disks, if it turns out to be right then I'll just have to bite the bullet and go to GSF.......again!

I've got a million and one things to do to the car and all of them are costing money....which I don't have at the mo.

Dan, its Paul, if you want the front discs I can give you the pads and calipers to match
