   Are furio and westcoast dics and calipers the same?
   
   basically need some new discs and pads as they are already grooved at the front thought might aswel get some more went to halfords bought vented or grooved front discs and pads took them to a mechanic and he said they were for the rear of a vtr disc brake or for a wetcoast but will not fit a furio is there a difference between the two?
   
   Someone clear this up for me thanks all shall be repped !

   the rear discs on a vtr are solid, not vented.
   
   the front discs and pads of a furio and westcoast are the same iirc.

   Westcoast use solid discs & bendix calipers. Furio use vented discs and ate calipers.

   Wrong, westcoast uses the same ATE caliper as the vt* and furio aswell as vented discs
   
   Its the 106 quicksilver which has solid discs.
