   not unless you have VT* calipers and carriers mate.
   IIRC the westcoast has solid discs.
   
   though if you hammer your car it is worth the upgrade to VT* front brakes.

   yeah if they are vented it looks asif 2 discs have been stuck together with a gap in the middle.
   
   if you have got ventred discs then yes they should fit but i would not buy them.
   the pads look good i would buy then but...
   the dics look cheap and nasty and with drilled discs they can crack, even with a decent make they might crack.
   
   i would recomend either some red dot grooved discs or some brembo max discs ( grooved also).

    these would be the better choice over the ones that you posted in the first link. However, if your wanting better braking then imo its well worth upgrading to the 266mm setup.

    hi iv been reading the guides, Secondly is the bigger grooved/drilled disk(big brake kit), uprated pads and std caliper with extension plates costing around £200+, this is better than just uprated disks and pads due to the increased surface area and the caliper is further from the central point of the hub than std so it can apply the same braking force with less effort. The disks are usually 283mm diameter and will only fit under 15" wheels or larger. these kits usually require some grinding to fit.
    does thiss mean i could put a 266mm disck on my westcoast? it has 247 vented discs at the min , thanks

    the 266mm upgrade goes under the 14inch vtr wheels fine.
    the 283mm upgrade goes under 15 inch wheels fine.
    
    If you need vt calipers and carriers, pm me, i have some for sale.

    if you want effective brake disks you don't have to spend that much. We sell the maxtorq group N setup for less than £25 for the pair. If you want grooves though you will have to spend more.
