Another brake question

by Animal » Mon Mar 06, 2006 7:24 pm

Got some discs today and they turned out to be wrong because they had the bearing bit inside. But the only others they say there is are 270mm. They are 4 stud but they say they are 4wd discs.
I have a 2.0 16v ecotec.
Any ideas?

The disc wasn't hollow it had like a tube running down the centre that holds bearings.
Also where as the one that is is flat like this ]

The one I got had a lip on it, kind of like it would look like if it was on the car. Something like this }
