twilightprotege · 16-02-2004, 03:51 PM

me likey!!!!!!

ps critter i've heard back from the guy about the cat - will let you know what's what when he confirm everything (hopefully tonight)

Critter · 16-02-2004, 05:53 PM

Cool, Andrew!

BigMal · 16-02-2004, 06:28 PM

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

JynX · 16-02-2004, 10:01 PM

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.

twilightprotege · 16-02-2004, 10:07 PM

oh i c

Critter · 17-02-2004, 08:26 AM

I'll ask for ya, Mal.

Critter · 18-02-2004, 08:30 PM

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.

twilightprotege · 18-02-2004, 09:46 PM

damn! when i was at competition friction then were only about 2 hours measuring all the front disc and caliper stuff....

but i look forward to the night of 1 march (i'm also starting my new job that day, so hopefully i'll be doubly excited)

Critter · 19-02-2004, 12:35 PM

We will probably test fit all sorts of things and then fit mine up to drive out

BigMal · 19-02-2004, 01:32 PM

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

twilightprotege · 19-02-2004, 01:34 PM

oh ok, so you're talking about the rotor + offset.

BigMal · 19-02-2004, 03:56 PM

Yep a 45mm overall thickness as I mentioned before.

Mal

pr1mo · 19-02-2004, 04:08 PM

will that measurement effect how far everyones mags stick out after the brake conversion is done??

cheers mike

twilightprotege · 19-02-2004, 08:41 PM

not at all

Critter · 19-02-2004, 09:11 PM

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.

any good news???

Aaron · 03-03-2004, 11:20 PM

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
