I'm surprised no one mentioned the cadillac catera (2001) and just redrilling those to 5x100. I was told that would work as well

I'm using the Cadillac Catera rotors, but I've been interested in test fitting Subaru BRZ rotors.

They fit right on but are kind of skinny from what I've been told

Ok. To add more fuel to drama. I have found rotors very close to spec. For the scion frs. I have been looking on phone so i may have missed some stuff.

http://www.fr-sforum.com/forums/targa-newf...920/topics/8058

Some pics to summariZe



It comes as a kit. Wonder if rotors can be sold



This is where i get lost.


It states 299 mm with 32 mm diameter and 5x100.

Wonder if sold separately and if they are centered for the gt4 caliper



I think i found the hat needed for the job. Wilwood part 170- 8324. May have right offset or very close to needed.

The gt4 rotor has a hat height of 1.129 inches. To that substract a small recess portion of 0.048 and the face thickness of 0.249. You get aprox offset of 0.832 inches .

0.77 inches of offset is close to that and might even pull away disc little away from ball joint. Im waiting on Mike to measure the supra hat. But again, im not 100 positive. But this hat is already 5x 100. Application. Hub may be a little wide. Not by much. Maybe 0.141 inches

Get one and cut to lenght. You will need to use washers

Very interesting.

EDIT: My only concern that matching the gt4 rotor specs would still require shaving of the caliper's mounting points.

There is always a tradeoff. Always. You can always look for a 30 mm disc. Its never going to be perfect.

For the rear brake rotors, I was looking at the WRX (G3) up to 2007, there are some difference from the height, but maybe can do something

DBA 2663 WRX
Specifications
Diameter 290
Height 64
Thickness 18
Min Thickness 16
C/Hole 58
Bolt holes 5 X 100 PCD

CELICA
Vent Vented
Diameter 315
Height 59
Thickness 16
Min Thickness 15
Centre Hole Dia 55
Bolt Holes 5

There are just 5mm of difference on the height and a minor difference on the thicknes. Anyone has tested this?

WRX from 2009 and up, rear brake rotors have a 64mm of height vs 59mm of the Celica ones, maybe there could be an option


Can someone check to see if this will work? Seems pretty legit

I started with what I know to do, I swap engine into my car, I knew it was too much work to make it a AWD. I kept it FWD. Went to take a crack at doing the wiring conversion. Than, I realize, shoot, this is out of my league.
