they won't fit unless you change the calipers too!



not worth it the solid disks are more than enough

sup to you, of course

that's what i'm gonna do when my disks have some more wear on them, i shan't be getting those drilled and slotted ones either as i'd never get the benfit from them cos i'm not a rally driver :crazy_driver:

Not sure what year you have - but mine came with vented discs, never had any solid ones to compare, but overall im happy with the way it brakes and stops.

Just prior to the change then
To upgrade you need disks, pads, calipers and mounts along with the later wheels
