Apparently the diameter is just a hair too small and the pads hang over the edge a bit.

understood LOL. went to fast brakes and DAAAAMn 500 plus for the convo you has to be joking Lol. So i can get full loaded calipers cheap (oem acura) and im in the process of getting the knuckles.

SO where in fast brakes are the rotors i can just buy. I did not see any lengend rotors in the menu

I think this is it.

there is a listing for rotors wit hub centric rings not sure what there apps for.




EDIT: also I never have tried doing it myself but you could buy the regular Teg R rotors and try drilling the 4x100 pattern your self. The last set I got from Brian one rotor the hole was off a little and need some filing to fit.

yeah that's the chart that got me thinking about 11.8" rotors that can fit under a 15" wheel.

One questions: For the ITR set up, would you need the ITR caliper and bracket or just the caliper?
