Where to buy 2-piece rotors and discs

Hi,

I'm driving a FD and I got hold of new BREMBO Gran Turismo brake calipers (front and back)
Unfortunately not a bolt on fit for my car so I'm trying to resource disc hats and discs from another company (like Wilwood or similar)


My wheels are 9.5X18 Offset 35 front and back.

Can anyone point out if there is a company selling 2-piece rotors and hats as a bolt on for the FD?

What would be an appropriate size for front and back? Front 14" discs or bigger? rears????

brackets for the calipers will be made accordingly.

Thanks

what I did was just go through the Wilwood online catalog.

Take your hub center OD (ID of brake rotor), OD of the hub itself (Min ID of the Hat) and what hat offset you want.

There are 2 models that fit. one has a 1" offset and the other just under 2"

14" discs are hard to come by in the hat bolt patterns that are available for the hub ID's.

Now, when I fit 14" rotors on my race car, I just purchased 2010 Mustang GT500K rotors (14") and got hubcentric rings machined to fit the Hub ID. the rears use non Z51 Vette Z06 rotors @ 13.4"

All my brackets are custom with wilwood 6 pots up front and 4 pots out back.

Not sure if this helps, but good luck!

I also run the Brembo GT calipers on the front of my FD. I use Stoptech rotors 332x32 mm with my Brembo hats. For Stoptech you can find information here for Brembo here.

I don't know where to source the required brackets...

Good luck,

Guy

You could probably use stoptech hats as well. Offset is close to 1.5"

Contact Coleman racing products in Michigan. They can make what ever kind of rotor you want in any spec you want. They use to make the rotors for the Porsche Brembo's I ran on my last FD track car a few years back.
