A few weeks ago I was searching brake discs and spotted these for the rear For my 2.0 tsi 272 so ordered them as an upgrade.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EBC-Turbo-Grooved-Rear-Brake-Discs-Skoda-Superb-3V-2-0-Turbo-280BHP-2015-on/232644978655?epid=16006448539&hash=item362ab8a7df:g:wusAAOSwh21abBqH

 

I’d already ordered the equivalent for the front including yellow stuff pads. Anyway seller replied their was a 2-4 week delay in delivery which was fine as I’m in no rush it was just a case of waiting. Anyway 3 weeks have passed and I’ve not heard anything so back onto them for an update and it’s at this point I actually read the full description. Now I suppose I should have read it at the time of ordering but anyway I hold my hands up , I didn’t. It states these discs are solid 300mm discs but mine are definitely vented discs on the rear and from what I’ve always presumed just as the fronts the same as the VW Golf R. I messaged the seller And explained I thought the listing was incorrect and gave my Full registration for them to check. They have come back to me stating the listing for solid rear discs part number GD1977 according to their catalogue are the correct listing for the Superb 280 and my registration and are solid discs. 
I’m not losing the plot I’ve been out to my car and my rear discs are definitely vented and I’m just concerned waiting a month and then the wrong ones are sent I’m not going to be best pleased.

has anyone updated their rear discs on their 280/272 and can confirm I’m right in thinking they’re identical to the VW Golf R and the ones EBC list for our model is incorrect?

 

thanks.

My rears are vented and I also noticed their listing showed solid rear discs. 
If you ring the EBC brake shop or EBC brakes direct, the guys are normally super helpful. Might be a case of their uprated rear discs don’t need to be vented to allow cooling due to the grooves or drilled aspect or material used. 
I’m sure they can explain the listing they have or realise they should be vented and give you a new part number. 
either way, it’ll put your mind at ease. 

Actually, now I’ve paid more attention to it for myself, ring them and get them to check the listing is actually placed properly on the EBC site. They seem to be listing the rears as 300mm solid instead of 310mm vented. Looks like a fault with EBC themselves rather than the retailer.

Thanks I will, I’ve also checked EBC website and as you say they’re listing what the retailer is advertising but it’s clearly incorrect. 

Here are the sizes: 

 

280/272 models...
F) 340mm x 30mm (vented)
R) 310mm x 22mm (vented)

All the rest...
F) 312mm x 25mm (vented)
R) 300mm x 12mm (solid)

 

I have upgraded rears - sourced from here - I would not trust fleebay sellers. VBT are part of Awesome GTI.

I don’t think it’s a matter of trust with the eBay seller, they’re larkspeed performance and I have no trouble trusting them. It’s that they are using the information supplied to them by the manufacturer and after a discussion earlier today with EBC’s technical department it is the manufacturer who’s incorrect listing for our model car has at least now been highlighted and they’ve told me they will change their catalogue for the correct part number Being GD1416 vented 310mm rear discs.

So sorry for the resurrection! But wondered how you got on with those discs and which pads did you fit?

New discs two years on? What mileage, or is it a different car?
