Breaks

[Sharas]

It seems that my brakes are done for, but when i started looking for new rotors, i could only find this, and they also say in there that they can get you EBC redstuff for the front and greenstuff for the rear for anout 90 pounds (thou i dont believ that thay have it for s12). Does anybody know if these rotors are any good?
Maybe any other options for some cheaper rotors?

Black diamond do disks for s12, can get them from http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/

I always thought that s12's front rotors diameter is 250mm but on those sites it says 270(something)

Hiya,
I`ve just had a look in the s12 bible .
The rotor outer diameter for European cars (ca18 and fj20) is 274 mm and the rotor outer diameter for Non-european cars (ca20) is 250 mm.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Ian.

Yeah like theres a lot of cheap rotors in USA, but sadly they dont fit the euro spec cars.
Well black diamond's even more expensive, for now that ebay item is the cheapest i could find. I dont want to invest much in these brakes, because some time in the future im planning to go with a z32tt brakes swap (not that i need them or can afford them now ). So anything cheap?

a set of standard disks and gd pads will be just as gd

I could bet that oem standart discs (not that anybody else makes them anymore ) would be as expensive as some diamond black discs (atleas in lithuania). Anyways the z32 swap is the way to go, much better breaks for real serious driving, but i realy dont have funds for that right now.

P.S. Oh and a z32 brake master cilinder would make it almost perfect.

Not that it really matters, and I'm not trying to offend, but it's 'brakes' when referring to the car part, and 'breaks' when referring to something that's broken

What fitment are S12 discs (PCD?). Perhaps Dan at DB Power can do some Brembo M3 Disks for the S12 cheaper, as I remember he ran a group buy for the S14 crowd with redrilled disks (It is what I had on my S14a).

I'm running some of those ebay brake discs and they are fine, 1000000 times better than my old disc's, but they were knackered.

You can order just the fronts etc if you have a word with the chap selling them.

They were also cheaper than a stock pair of discs even with a discount from my local motor factors.

Any idea on the brand though? Cheaper no-name brands are likely to warp with any serious use.
