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

[the_paynter]

If someone sends me the Dba catalog I'll look, the body work/ paint job has had my full attention over the past 2 weeks. it finally got sprayed copper red tonight but the shop didn't give us enough paint (idiots). the hood roof and front bumper need to be wetsanded and resprayed and i can't get back in the booth till Friday so I hav some free time (other then school)

Can't get any info on 2009 TL but here is 2008 TL

I think NeedforSpeed (Ron) has a DBA catalogue .. PM him maybe?

Nobody has yet to PM me the OE rotor offset for the SVX. I've been knee deep into the Skyline and haven't had much time to dig up info myself yet.

As soon as I have the rotor offset I can look it all up in minutes. Inside mounting face out to either friction surface(inner or outer) will do I can piece a rotor setup from that.

I dunno what exactly you want but here are the specs of the SVX rotors:

Front: Dia: 301.1mm, Height: 57mm, Thick: 28mm, Bolt Pattern: 5/114.3
Rear: Dia: 290mm, Height: 67.5mm, Thick: 10mm, Bolt Pattern: 5/114.3

By offset do you mean Height or Thickness?

[Boxersix]

Here is a simple diagram of exactly what is required for dimension of the offset, and how to measure it(with a digital caliper and new rotor off the car)

[lhopp77]

I can get you in the ballpark from a Raceconcepts new slotted rotor using a dial caliper--not digital.

A=1.150-1.160 depending on where you measure (with a note--the disk is machined .015 deeper close to the bolt mountings where I could measure versus at the wear surface. So A is effectively 1.135-1.140 at the pad wear surface)

yy=.270-.275

The rotor is 1.11-1.125 thick at the pad contact surfaces.

Sorry I don't have an actual OEM that I can measure either new or used.

Hope that can get you started.

Using my measurements I would say the offset is .883 plus or minus .010

(Note--before edit I incorrectly applied the .015 difference in machine depth close to the hub center versus at the actual pad wear surface)

I might be a little late but if you're still looking for the correct disc dimensions, try a Lexus RX 4wd discs and other Toyotas that are 114.3

[Boxersix]

Well unfortunately there is no existing, bolt on rotor/hat in the aftermarket realm(wilwood, AP, alcon, etc) that'll suit. There are rotor rings that are of an exact fit(315 x 28mm) but would require a custom hat/bell.

I have no idea of the cost at this time, but I took a few minutes and made a bell in SW to fit an AP rotor ring(PN CP5000-220/221). Wilwood also has a similar fitment in the SRP series rings, but I'm not a hug fan of their durability when combined with a good pad(Performance friction, AP, etc).

Bell looks like this

well.. the other solution is to cut out a 1/2 cm section of the caliper mounting points and then TIG them back together? Sounds logical to me?

[sicksubie]

cutting brake calipers mounting points off does not sit well with me.....

[sicksubie]

I need to contact Ron and see what he can find out from his DBA source....

[NeedForSpeed]

Okay, Go here:

I've looked at this swap for a long time, would love to do it. I'm thinking the rear rotor from the Ford Territory might be the ticket, with minor mods, like a hub-centric ring. Being a Ford, spacing could be 5x4.5, perfect. Needs a bit of investigation.

See page 62, PN #2108 for specs.

I sent you a PM.

See previous post about your rotor possibility.

Has anything new come out of this thread? It looked pretty promising other than some issues with rotor size.
