superpaulwilson Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 My rear disks need replacing as they are badly corroded. I've done a quick search and everyone seems to be telling me to stick with stock rotors. Just been down to toyota to see how much and they quoted me £76.86 +VAT each for j spec rear disks! Thats £180, which seems a bit silly to me! Is this reasonable? or should i be looking elsewhere? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Rear disks are very expensive, it's £300 for a set of UK-spec rears, and that's considerably more than the fronts. They have that big bellhousing for the handbrake system y'see and apparently that costs money I use Blueprint stuff as the OEM ones tend to warp easier than them even with my miss daisy driving style. Blueprint is cheaper as well, so you might want to try that route, but don't expect series III Land Rover prices -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superpaulwilson Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Ok. Thanks for the advice. I think I was just a bit surprised as the last set of disks I got were for my mini and only cost £20 for the set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSupTT Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Im in the same situation! I need new rear discs for my J-spec. Im going to try Hyper Performace I think. If any one else has any prices etc, post up please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 have you tried posting in the "wanted" section as people do take these off when upgrading, i have a set in the garage but no idea how much "meat" is on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 15mm minimum thickness for the disc. Oh, you could have then lightly skimmed by a local engineering works for a few quid, as i did before Xmas. They got me through my MOT, but the guy skimmed them down to about 14mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok. Thanks for the advice. I think I was just a bit surprised as the last set of disks I got were for my mini and only cost £20 for the set! 300+ mm vented discs with an internal drum were always cheap on minis though.

Ian C Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Yes but 3 sets of OEM rears vs one set of blueprints over the same period = a saving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
