the reason was ......

The 4x110 bolt patters sucks, so if we can get rotors with 4x114.3 bolt pattern then out wheel choices are almost endless......

yay im starting a wheel revolution!

 

"wheel revolution" Play on words?????

I will post after i hear back from him and i will try to get a group buy pricing.....

Bah! I just need the stock "12A" 4 x 110 as I really like my ROH Snyper wheels =)

 

well could you see what he could do about the people who already have the gsl-se. i guess that wouldnt be hard though, they would already have plans for them, but make sure the order wouldnt be for exactly the same model.

 

Ok here is the news......

I just spoke to David at OC and he said that he can custom drill the rotors in a 4x114.3 bolt pattern for us.

The only question he has is what is the size of the stud that we are putting in? I would assume we would all use the standard stud from our old rotors but i dont know how many MM's the studs are...Does anyone?

Lastly we are talking $180.00 plus shipping per set (yes thats fronts and backs) I think that is a deal.

Can someone help me out with the mm's of the studs so i can call David back?

I will keep you all posted.

HEck yeah Wheel Revolution! I would prolly do this but i just got my rotors and dont have any other rims to bolt on at the moment.

 

How much would they charge to have both bolt patterns? Or would they do a custum set?

 

I personally dont think that having 2 sets of holes in the rotor would be safe......

But from what i understand from Dave at OC they can drill to any bolt pattern you ask for....

well erik got his for 154, so i dont see how 180 is a good grou buy price....i my just buy mine seperate, since i just need them for an se.

 

Ok so for us newbees, would new rotors all the way around for a FB, (GSL) get us a 4x114 bolt pattern without further mods? Hell - the four to five lug adapters are $320 a set, and you still have the offset issue to deal with.
Isn't the GSL-SE bolt pattern 4x114?

 

i stumbled across a site a while ago that was either by cobra ford or roush and it was a brake research. it talked about how in every event where they replicated a warped rotor it was in fact pad media that was imbeded on the rotor itself. never was the rotor itself warped. i can't find the damn site and it's driving me nuts, shoulda bookmarked it. anyways it was all about different pad medias pros/cons and how to properly bed pads, a shitload of stuff was on this site. can't remember if i found it on here or somewhere else......

 

A hAAAa! http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/wp...akedisk.shtml#

 

That should be required reading for everybody. Good info!

 

$180 for "Custom Drilled Rotors" is a deal and thats not the group buy price.....

I still need to let him know the stud size and tell him how many we would order to get a firm price...

Anyone know the stud size?

...so..we can convert gsl-se's to five lug pattern aswell ?

 

get read ^ I think that page should be archived

 

I will find out on monday.

I guess as long as there is enough meat on the rotors to drill into they can be drilled..

its monday!!!update?

 

i am definately in on this buy... please let us know when this is gonna happen. I will be one of the first in line.

 

Anyone know anything about BAER brand rotors? are they reliable?

 

Great article on the true definition of 'warped' rotors.

 

I'm just interested in installed pics...I want to see what they look like on...I know what drilled and slotted rotors look like...

 

I'm interested in the group rotor buy also, but am unclear as to how many more wheel option are available for that pattern. I know there's only a couple wheel options (new) available for the 4x110.
Does the 4x114.3 bolt pattern have a lot more aftermarket wheel options, or is 5 lug a better way to go, to install after market wheels?
