Normally buy Sebro (Porsche OEM) from Berlyn, mine were bought quite some time ago & have been fine.
Zimmerman are the other option.


Really?

Yup, used to be Zimmerman from Bert but now Sebro as they have painted bells & don't rust.



Sebro are the suppliers to Porsche on SWB solid rear discs, nothing water cooled ever

Zimmerman have never been a supplier to Porsche

Should find that the rears are the shallower 71mm ones, should be able to pick them up for around £80 for the pair, there's even a pair of Delphi ones on ebay right now for £70 delivered

I checked the rears out earlier they are pretty new by the looks, no ridge or scores, Front is another story.

Where did you get them from at that price?

Sorry forgot you were after front discs, they should be even cheaper, but what about a pair of vented and grooved front discs for £65 for the pair, go have a look at ebay item: 370422888266

You need to make sure you look for discs that state they are for a pre -87 car, from 87 onwards ABS was an option so the discs front and back are different sizes.

Not what I was told but I'm not arguing. So who does supply Pork with discs?
I knew that Zimmerman don't supply OEM to Porsche, they don't have painted bells.

Zimmerman have had painted hubs for about a year now. Brembo are the biggest disc supplier to Porsche over the years. Porsche now get their discs from................China, even though they say Made in Germany on them!!. OEM discs in brown boxes are basically the same, made in China at the same factory, as are the Pagid discs

Maybe the onews i bought were Zimmerman then, came in a blue box and are painted.

Back to the original post though, Iv'e never come across the drilled/grooved oens on ebay before, but I can't see there being an issue on a road car, might think twice if I was doing full tilt track days, but then I wouldn't be buying standard discs if I was.
Only my opinion but if I were looking for new front discs I'd buy them
