So I'm getting to the point in the project where brakes might become a necessity.... problem is, not many people have my exact situation at hand.

I'm running the superstrut suspension in the front.... until further notice.
Given that, I have all the subrame stuff from the clip, no problem. Bought front shocks, no problem. Bought ss3 twin piston brakes, no problem. came with pads so I can find a matching pad size, no problem.

My question comes into play with respect to the rotor (or brake disc whichever you prefer).
Does anybody have any idea what rotor is gonna fit off hand? Anyone have superstrut with ss3 brakes? I can't seem to find much of anything with respect to diameter, offset etc etc.
I'm hoping the GT rotors fit, but I'm not sure if the offset is right. If not, maybe mr2 turbo rotors? 185 rotors?
I could always mix and match, but I'm hoping for some experience and answers if they exist.

Thanks in advance to an experienced community...... whom I do no expect to have an answer for me LOL

the SS-II S/S with the E56 supposedly carries 283mm discs which is slightly bigger than the 275mm SS-II/GT ones.
and as far as I can see, it uses the same part no# as the later spec SS-III.

you will be fine to run a 275mm disc, as the late spec SS-II runs 275 with twinpots
