Anybody got these?

Any good? Easy to fit? How much did they cost?

My car is a 96 build 3.0l with the standard [94-01] wheels.

The thing to watch out for with the BD discs is the size. I have mailed a few companies looking for the 94+ size BD discs. My query was whether they can supply the correct size as they all seem to list 282mm discs for the 94+...They all came back saying that was what BD list and it was the correct size...this is not true AFAIK. The 91-93 is 282mm.
I mailed BD direct but never got a reply.

I think Darren runs BD discs on his (91-93) if I recall, and rated them.

As far as I know the bigger brakes came in 1997.

Correct, bigger wheels in 1994 but the brakes didn't come until the 3.2

Sorry, you are right. I made a very quick reply to the post which does not make the best of sense at all. what I should have said was:

They list the 91-96 size discs for the 97+ and after enquiring with two of their dealers, they say their sizes are correct?

Try phoning BD direct.

I seem to remember talking to black diamond a while ago about this.

Their website used to show the same sizes with different part numbers, they told me they would correct this, however it appears that they have 'corrected' it by making it even further wrong.

I have BD discs on the front of my '91. All good. I have the invoice somewhere if you want to know how much they cost but I think its easy to get a quote on-line.
