Smile brake rotors for NZ new.

Hey trying to remember who at the meet last month in Rotorua had rotors sent out from USA 7 years ago only to find that the rears were the wrong type.

I want to get some from Dayle, but cannot remember if NZ new is solid or vented on the rear.

Any help would be great.

Steve

Re: brake rotors for NZ new.

Can the vented rotors work where solids were originally used?
Or does it require different caliper
