A hundred and twenty bucks a pair of 7.5 inch discs online is pretty hard to complain about...

Saying that, hand the discs over the counter at a repco machine shop, and you will be shocked how cheap it can be. I had a pair of WRX ventilated discs machined at a repco shop for 11 bucks a side!! It was so cheap I complained.

It's pretty simple work for the shop. It gets expensive if you want them to come and take them off however.

That was 5 years ago however, I dunno what goes on these days.

I did know, but the number escapes me at the moment... I *think* it's 8.0mm, but don't quote me on that -- someone else will confirm ;)

There's 2 in one side and 1 in the other.
The extra hole on one side is for the bleeder.
