So i'm talking to DBA about making their BRZ rotor in the proper thickness for our celicas.
Would need a REAL number of who would be interested. They offer solid and 2-piece rotors   Market price: 2-piece is $330/ea Market price: 1-piece is $88-150/ea If there is interest could be cheaper who knows. |

QUOTE will the hub bore be the same size as ours Yes, BRZ rotors are the same bore and wheel pattern and the diameter required. The only difference OEM BRZ rotors are 24mm thickness vs 32mm thickness of the GT4. You can see my project thread for a photo of BRZ rotors on a celica. |

so increasing them to 32 mm woulnt that get the rotor to close to the ball joint. 30 mm would be great...

There weren't any reported issues with the supra rotor and with the height of the rotor the ball joint shouldn't be an issue.
30mm I would be fine with as well. Currently DBA is looking for an existing piece which will fit our needs. will follow up. But unless they find a current fit the 2 people who want rotors isn't going to convince them to make one

DBA discontinued St205 GT4 rotors about 3 years ago ..
Your asking them to re make them ?? If so im curious to see how you go - Ive had no luck with them in the past - and have been contemplating a Ksport or AP racing upgrade simply for the fact that they can supply decent quality rotors VS ebay crap |

I am going to be doing the lexus es front rotor upgrade at some point and for a decent price I'd be interested in the 2 piece front set. But at $660 for a front pair, holy damn.

The BRZ dimensions work but i think the goal is to get something with moth thickness and width. ST205 rotors for the front of our ST204's would require an adaptor for the caliper to space accommodate that added 15mm's of width from the rotor sadly DBA doesnt seem to have 2 epic rotors for the non-turbo supra

Can someone tell me what are the benefits of having a 2 piece rota? Will upgrasing the rota to 2 piece make any significant improvement?

We'd have to get on the supra forums and get the NA supra owners to pull together to get DBA to make a 2-piece
