Re: 06-07 WRX 4 pot brakes... FIT!

Excellent work so far on this, I hope a rotor can be sourced. How much did those brakes cost you?

320mm diameter and 24-25mm thickness, with the same hat dimensions (height, bolt pattern) as SVX would be something to look for.

The increase in diameter, and decrease in thickness would probably more than offset each other, in terms of thermal mass of the disc itself.

Re: 06-07 WRX 4 pot brakes... FIT!

Yes the Baja is 5x100, it is based off the Legacy/outback.

Im going to give the maxima disc a try... if it doesnt fit, i will just return it. The difference in the hat makes it look like its not going to work though... dang

The disc heights are approx the same as the SVX. The only difference are in the bolt patterns and the thickness...

Wonder how do aftermarket BBK for Bajas look like?

Re: 06-07 WRX 4 pot brakes... FIT!

But when you order aftermarket BBK for BAJA, the thickness comes minimum at 30mm and the hub is interchangeable, so you get the 5x114.3 instead...

I think Wilwood BBK is a nice affordable choice...

Re: 06-07 WRX 4 pot brakes... FIT!

Just match up a Willwood or Coleman rotor ring to a billet hat from wilwood and you'll have your rotors.

I can do that for you easy as I have teh 2009 wilwood catalog sitting here in front of me. All I need from you is the rotor offset that's required, the rest of the specs were listed in the previous posts above. Measure the offset from the INSIDE surface of the rotor where it meets the hub to the rear face of the rotors.

Also, what's the hubcentric diameter on these cars?

Re: 06-07 WRX 4 pot brakes... FIT!

I know the Evo IX is to big... ill check out a 99 GSX though

EDIT:

I checked it out... says an eclipse front rotor is 10.83", way to small..POWER SLOT makes a big brake rotor replacement for it thought that is 12.5", this is 317.5mm which is good.. as for width and hat size.. not sure yet

Re: 06-07 WRX 4 pot brakes... FIT!

2009 Acura TL uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern in their 3.5L model.

The rotor size is 12.6"x1.1" ooooorrrrrr 320mm x 28mm.......

This might work... but 2 CM increase might be large. Doing the math though thats only 1cm added all the way around

Hat height anyone?
