Are these also from the 200 TQ?
If so, any idea about how many  200TQs produced? I've found a local who is
importing from UK & german wreckers.

BTW $2000 may not be very expensive when you consider that the price for
front rotors is A$900 a side & pads A$300 a set. (A$1= US0.75) Needless to
say I wont be buying replacement parts locally.
