Look up Brembo part number FD 077.000 (drilled) and FS 077.000 (grooved)
These APPEAR to be front discs that will fit the 8g GLS. They also list the V6 in the fitment though, and we're all aware that the V6 uses different front discs to the GLS. However, the 256mm quoted diameter is correct for the GLS.
Is anyone else aware of these? Is brembo's listing correct? They're also listed for Volvo V40 and mitsubishi Carisma.
Here's where it gets interesting. I can see that the carisma and S40/V40 would use the same disc as they share their platform. However, If you look up black diamond's parts for these cars the V40 comes up with a different part number (KBD868) to the carisma and galant which are the same (kbd459). The diameter, depth and width of both BD parts and the brembo part are all the same.
This is the first I've come across of brembo discs for the GLS.
