    Alternative Rear Disc Fitment

    I know that 172/182 rear discs are the same size as GTT OE rear discs but are the bearings compatible? Will the 172/182 rear discs and bearings bolt straight on?

    I know that the 172/182 rear discs have ABS ring gears but, that could be useful for other stuff.

    Many thanks.

    I have done a search and loads came up for 172/182 front brakes but nothing for the rear discs.

    You have to grind some of the plastic backing away to clear the ABS bit

    Why not fit OE GTT rears discs if the 182 are the same?

    Ah, thanks, I wondered if I was missing out on an upgrade
