Where do I find Rear axle rotor hubs
Hi all,
I know I can machine what I am after out of a complete rear disc brake rotor, but wondering if anyone knows where you can buy these by them selves.
This photo is from CB Performance, but I cant see them separately on their site.
Also, not wanting 4 bolt. These are just an example.
Thanks, Kev

Having been throught this search myself, they are all too bloody expensive... sorry bout the whinge
In future if I need to do this again I would buy a set of rear empi discs in blanks and turn them down from there and drill to suit. I turned down a
set of combo bolt pattern ones from classic, they are really thick and allow some movement in offset. You can swithch them front to rear and/ or
machine the mounting face a little to chase some track.
I think they are somewhat readily available about $100 each or was that a pair? They are cast not Cro mol.

The ISP ones are nice. As stated above, many are cheap soft metal and can be dangerous....beware

Hi all,
sorry just for back to this now. Thanks for the input and views and just thinking of trying to one day improve the shit ones that are currently on my
car.
The ISP ones are expensive as mentioned, I looked but couldn't see if they made similar for the front hubs.
Thought I could then just buy some floating rotors to suit what ever bolt pattern I choose and then get better calipers front and rear and make some
adapters to mount the calipers.
Sounds simple and I hope it is.
Cheers, Kev

We are about to start manufacturing these, just embarking on doing some testing on a car before going any further.
Have made rear hubs out of steel and then had them hardened to HRC60. They allow a Subaru floating disc to sit over the top and a Subaru backing
plate, handbrake assembly and calliper to mount on them. They could also have other brands/types of floating discs and calipers mounted to them as
well I would think - all while maintaining the stock offset.
At the moment the hubs are made to 5 x 100 PCD but considering options to allow them to also provide for 4 x 130 and 5 x 112 (maybe even 5 x 130) so
people don't need to change their wheels.
I hate the junk/soft one piece rotors/disks....ewwwww

+1.
Does this mean I can buy new calipers?
I have currently R31 rear kit but I don't like the fact the calipers and their parts are obsolete and have been for who knows how many years if not
decades.
