front brake discs correct dimensions for 2007 2.7 diesel ??

Postby thomas45 » Thu Jan 08, 2015 12:56 am

Could someone please advise me of the correct sizes for the 2007 2.7d. I think the diameter of the front discs is 326mm X thickness of 30mm but there is another measurement of which I have no idea. Something to do with the hub (is it?)
I need to be sure to be sure before buying off the internet as there is such a vast amount of variation. :mrgreen:

MY 99-02 early cars had 300mm front discs. MY 02.5 onwards cars with the exception of the STR gained 326 mm front discs to improve braking efficiency, reduce pedal pressure and increase pad and disc life.

As far as the rear discs are concerned, all models and years are the same as originally made at I believe 286mm diameter.

If in doubt quote the last 6 digits of your Vin Number ie M33066 to obtain correct parts from suppliers.
