Title: Powertrain brake discs - any good
Post by: alexandjen on 27 November 2008, 18:29:05

I've been offered a new pair of Powertrain rear discs at a fairly good price, has anyone had experience with this make?

Fair enough, cheers Mark, they are 286mm diameter would they fit a 2.2 or are they for a 2.0?

Thought so, can you recommend a decent aftermarket make?

I've got genuine for the front but I don't think the rears need to be genuine, although I don't want cheap and nasty crap :y

had a front set 2 years ago in powertrain box(discs stamped lockheed) i think the motor factors use what they can find at the right price.take the discs out the box and check before you buy. :y
