I'm looking at RX8 rotors front and rear for my kombi...offset is good for making adapter plate to suit any caliper...and yeah the PCD is close too

Well I got some time today ( only just ) to have a good look at the set up on the front .

I found the outer bearing is the same id as the late RX7 20mm id , the inner will reqire a adapter to bring the shaft size up , but I can use the RX7 bearing & seal .

I will get a plate lazer cut to bolt the 4 spot caliper to .

Cost $200.00

The sud pattern is Ford 5 on 114.3

Hi Andrew , I dont have a ball joint front here to check mate , but thing I will make a few sets of each up any way .The cost to set up the lazer is the most expencive , from there its only a few $ each .I seem to be doing all the bits for cost these days , just gets every one up and going faster .

I truly think this is the best set up there is .
I will hold off for a few days as my drop spindels are coming from the usa ( are they Humpty ? )

The other set up I have is to use all these Subaru WRX & rs calipers & disks I have here .The ford ea is still best for the rear .

I post some photos soon

i am also following the progress on this one i also have a b/j frontend though. at the moment i just have the bigger type 3 calipers and std discs with pcd 120 x5. but wanting bigger calipers to compensate for the eb falcon rear setup which i agree is great. looking forward to seeing some pics. cheers

Looking at it , I think it will be 5 or 6mm thick
so steel may be best

Lazer is lower in cost , but punch CNc is now on a par , seagull
