Think you will find critters are ford pbr calipers used on some AU's and mustangs
here in Aus. http://www.v8sho.com/SHO/images/cobr...akes/96bks.jpg http://www.springfieldmotorsport.com/newbaer.html Even in the US though they have moved to the commodore PBR style. http://cobras.worldwidegarage.com/displayarticle4.html What I need is a price please for the GTO rotors DBA216 and also how thick the police pads are DB1344.

i scorced the maker off blank rotors but they will not sell them to public
wen i say blank thats exactly wat they are not even the bearings have been machined out i wanted to do my own but no go so im waiting to see the dba factory an see if i can cut a deal with them im looking at 330 mm dia they come in 30mm thick so to put on the commadorre calipers ill have to machine 1.5 mm off each side off the rotor and make up a mounting bracket to anchor the caliper as the mazda mounts are way different

Dont machine the rotors have the brake pads shaved by the 1.5 that way
on the 2nd set of pads will be a perfect fit so the rotors will last longer. Regards Mal

no the calipar is a fixed width an to machine it would only weaken it

The Rx-7 calipers are two piece, if you were to seperate the halves and make a spacer plate you could widen them although it would allow a little more flex in them under high preasure. Probably not enought to fuss over though.
