Brake rotors

[Brock05]

Hey guys , ive got the HSV R8 cross drilled brakes with 4 piston all round. If i was to get larger rotors would those callipers fit or would i have to change them. Also any recommendations on brake pads

cheers Geno.:beer:

Hey Geneo, Im not to sure about the rotor info as I use DBA's 4000 in a standard size. The pads I use are Forodo TS 2000. I have put 2 set through hell in the last 2 track days. Ask the fellas here, they saw my front and rear brake rotors GLOWING red hot at the end of the straight at Eastern Creek. These pads are still on my car and are still gripping like shit to a blanket!!

We (you and I) can get them at Repco in Wagga for a great price RRP $189, we get them for $135. Happy with that.

No they wouldn't fit Geno, you would need to get bigger mounting brackets made up to space the calipers out further to get over the bigger rotors.

To achieve this you'd need to speak to Harrop (unless they're the AP brakes) and ask if they could make them or get them made elsewhere. The current Harrop kit (ie Duncs) has the 343 rotors on the rear as opposed to the previous 315mm rotors so maybe that would give you 343 rotors all round which may be a start.

Hope that makes sense.

Cheers Dave
