I think you will find they split on two (all the ones I've seen do).
Put up a pic for identification :D .

yeh there was heaps of different shapes and sizes of them when i was trying to find some to fit a HQ rotor and stub on HR front, i ended up finding the ones i needed but got a entire HR front end cheaper so i just went to HR discs and calipers

those orange ones look like the ones ive got. but they seem to match up with so called torana discs. someone told me the torana discs were thicker than the hr ones. it all seems very tricky with so many options so i'll keep on trying different discs and pads , thanks for your help. :D :D :D
