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?
