Default Black diamond on a 99 uk car...?

Hi all,
I have been offered a full set of black diamond grooved discs and pads.
Front and rears all in for £361.39
The fronts on a 99 are 295mm discs and four pot pads, i know this.
Are the rears two pots? and what size are the discs?
is this a good price or is there better available out there?
regards

Andy.

If this has been done to death then I am sorry, but cannot find a search function on the new software.

Just been ringing around and also been talked out of buying rear discs.
big thanks to Len at subaru4you.
I am now awaiting delivery of a set of black diamond discs (fr), mintex pads (fr) and braided brake lines (4). all delivered for under £300, which is nice.

Size of rears should be 266mm Vented on MY99/00 although they possibly may not be vented (they are on my MY00) but you can check that quite easily

I just got a set of rear discs from www.sapmotorparts.com for the pricely sum of 30 quid a piece

The black diamond discs are excellent. I've had a set of drilled and grooved on the front for 6 months (normal mintex pads). They are noisier but not as noisy as the Tarox 40 groove. I can't understand why you'd need to change the rears though. The rear brakes do bugger all compared to the front and the std fits are adequate as well a lot cheaper. Motorsport world did a good deal for me, give em a try!
