If you've got ventilated discs then the chances are that someone has fitted front hubs from a v8.

To the best of my knowledge, no ventilated discs in any Pagoda from the factory.  Very unclear to me how larger discs would fit with correct calipers.

W113 cars never came from the factory with ventilated discs. Check out the two photos and notice that the ventilated disc caliper is nearly 1/4" wider for the ventilated rotor......................................

Is there any real advantage to having vented rotors on a 113?
