Disc options will depend on whether you are retaining 5 stud pattern of if you are converting to 4 stud. For 5 stud, I used ma? Supra discs. Easy job, remove all the drum brake parts and slip the disc over the end. Then fab a bracket for whatever calipers you decide. I went r31 as they were an easy option with the handbrake.

I have gone to standard Escort 4 stud using BMW 280mm rotors and R32 2-pot calipers.

Hi shaun,
 
Thank you for your help, i would like to retain the escort 4 stud pattern, so what rotor would you recommend? Do you know of anyone that can supply mounting bracket for the R31 calipers?

Hi MK1_Oz,
 
Do you have a part number for BMW rotor and was there any mods required to fit rotor?

To be honest I don't have a clue as all my work was done by Eurospeed.
