Kinked_Chrome Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 hey guys, I swapped my rear axles to five lug and I am using a 1.25" spacing on the rear to fit wider wheels and I am using z32 rear disc and caliper. the way the I am bolting the rotor on is between the spacer and the wheel. the overall spacing is perfect for the 17x9 cobras i am using. It also aligns the rotor so that i can use a 3/8" steel plate to build a caliper mount, without having to add any spacers or shims between the caliper and the rotor. I was curious if i need to worry about the way the rotor is bolted on. So far the car has seen only street duty, but i wanted to find out about the way the rotor needs to be attached before i started autox.

Guest JAMIE T Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 It sounds alittle unclear to me what your talking about. How the rotor is attached? Isn't it a hat type rotor? The only thing I can think of is the hub center should be a snug fit with the rotor hub center. You should not rely on the wheel studs to center the rotor. I had some rings made that made the Cobra 13" rotors slip on the S30 rear sub axle making the rotor hub-centric. I just found out Steeda sells some sort of kit that allows the Cobra front rotor to work on the back of a SN95 Mustang using the STOCK SN95 rear caliper I'm stoked about that!

Kinked_Chrome Posted June 4, 2004 Author Share Posted June 4, 2004 yeah, it is kind of hard to explain, it is a stock z32 n/a rotor. essentially the studs are centering the rotor. I have all of the spacing right, but i need to figure out a way to center the rotor or fix it to the spacer or hub some how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JAMIE T Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Just have some hub-centric rings made to center the rotor on the hub. That will work fine. Any machine shop could do it. I had mine "punched" out of 1/4" alum. plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
