Critter,
Can you ask your friend if he can get the 330mm blank rotors same as Gavsport and race brakes can get. They are 45mm overall thickness as used on the Lancer's. I already have some twin spot callipers they are commodore ones but close enough to the PBR. If you can tell me how much for the 2 rotors other places are asking around $750. As for your 314mm ones have a look at the Mitsubishi GTO rotors they are 315mm by 45mm thick and 1 piece, also are stock DBA item may save some money for you. Regards Mal

45mm thickness? way way way too much overkill. 28mm thick is more than enough for our cars

I think mals point was that a similar setup is available on a factory car which may be cheaper to find then an aftermarket setup.

Latest news.
My car is booked in for a day-long fit-out and set-up of the kit at Specialised Brake and Clutch. Date is Monday 1st March, the first day they could make available for such a long session, starting 6.30 am (ouch!). As of then I'll be in a position to supply details/options/prices.

Hey guys just to clarify if you layed the rotor flat on the ground its 45mm from the ground
to the upermost part of the hub. The thickness of the working part of the rotor is 30mm. Best of luck Critter was only pointing out a 2piece rotor is about $500 a pop against a 1 piece at $150-200 approx. Regards Mal

I'm on the same page Mal.
For me the one piece will do the job fine, money better spent on a decent caliper and pads imo..... But will try to get kit pricing on as many "options" as is reasonable.

If the rotor size is carefully specced DBA should have a few options for 4 stud cars etc.
Caliper mounts are the harder thing. Although not impossible, definately a specialist job, but the idea of working out possible backwards compatibility is excellent A.
