Question

My spanky new Pagid 8 Groove disks just arrived.

The front ones arent Vented, the current ones on my scooby are.

Is there any difference between Vented and non vented ?

Well call me stupid !

I thought vented meant they have the drill holes in them

Not the Vents between two plates .. hehehee

They are vented (Front)

How do i tell if the back Disks on my scooby are Vented as it looks like i orderd non-vented for the back.

You should be able to tell if your rear discs are vented by simply looking between the wheel spokes? The rears on my MY00 are vented.

Cheers,

Ian.

Mark Though if they are in better condition you may as well throw them on.

Mine has the vented back disks MY98, it looks like most STi have. Just got to return the back ones for Vented disks now

Also on my travels found out that the Drilled disks arent as good as non drilled as they are more susceptible to cracking and stuff.
