What 288mm discs do you guys use? got any links? LMF are shocking, could get Vectra 288 but would have to re-drill to 4 stud and use a spigot ring, is that right?
I'd prefer to just buy 4 stud TBH but not at 190 a pair.
Many thanks

I've got some Lotus Elise discs. Only done a trial fit so far. They're 288mm and 4x100 PCD. Bore size is a couple of mm bigger, and the stud holes are M14 instead of M12. So I've got some stainless tube that's M14 o/d and M12 i/d, this will centralise the disc perfectly.
They're still about £160 for the pair, but they're EBC ultimax discs so they should be worth it. I thought I'd try something different from the norm  They're 1mm thicker to start with too.

Seems I could use Meriva 280mm Discs that are already 4 stud, slight size difference shouldn't make a difference though should it?

I could possibly get some more spigot rings made up, I would have to speak with a friend as I don't work their anymore so no access to a lathe. need to measure the ones im using to as I didn't keep the sizes. 
they are different from when using Vectra B 288 5 studs redrilled, still using Vectra B calipers and brackets, mintex 1144 pads.
