   Alright guys
   
   Went to fit the wilwoods yesterday using 283mm gti-6 discs, and disaster.
   The offset on the disc is wrong and the calipers wont fit over the disc and bolt to the strut.
   
   What discs fit the midilites??
   
   the gti-6 discs sat too far away from the hub, meaning i would need to take some metal off the bracket bolting to the strut. which obviously isnt an option.
   
   
   Any help would be great

   285mm x 21mm are the disks you want.
   
   www.rallydesign.co.uk is where you get them, if you go under the brake kits, citroen then select the kit.
   It then has the disk re order code.
   
   They aint cheap mind.

   you just said you fitted 283mm x 22mm disks
   
   i listed 285mm x 21mm disks (because you asked which fitted )
   
   I dont have a set to hand to measure but could get some new ones measured in a couple of days.
   As i am trying to source somewhere cheaper to get the disks.
   
   The old style wilwoods used to take the 22mm disks but you couldnt fit VTS wheels over them, so they changed the brakets (so i was told, so dont hold me to that) that attach to the struts to fit 21mm disks and in return you could fit vts wheels over them.
   
   what colour are your brakects to hold the caliper to the strut?
   
   Why not give rally design a call and ask them what disks fit?
   
   
   Also with the smaller discs, wont you have the pads hanging off the outer edge of the disc?

   ahh i see,
   
   whats bothering me is i ran them 6 months ago with 283x22 mm discs
   
   same car, no change to the calipers.
   
   i buy another set of 283x22 discs and the offset of the disc was completly different hence why they dont fit.
   
   im back to running my rusty shitty old discs which have been in the garden in the rain for months
