Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Where to get brake discs from.
I think they just advertise on ebay, but I had great service from them for my mk2 n/a brake discs, and if you are local to them they offer fitting service etc.. I used ebay for all my parts becuase I find it easier to buy cheap parts but I believe this is their main site. http://www.atozmotorspares....
