what rotors to use for the 5lug swap....

[Tre3zy]

just wondering what year of T.E.L. rotors i could use for my 5 lug swap.... im also planning on eliminating my ABS.... correct me if im rite but ive heard that i need to use a 93-94 non abs rotors? but when i looked it up on rock auto it seems like the abs and non abs rotors are that same... is that right?

you can use those you list, but you can also use 2g brake rotors as well. If you have eliminated the small bolts that hold on the ABS rotors, you do not need to worry about the ABS specification at all. The TEL rotors are only different for ABS by whether they have the holes for the bolt heads.

i used 92 3000gt sl rotors. the big brake kit for the 1g dsm's and the stock brakes from the gvr4 are the same as the 3000gt. and the 3000gt is 5 lug so that solves the problem.

cool thnx

I know MachV was selling brembo blanks for $50 for the pair. They're 5 lug DSM rotors.

oh i just remembered the 3kgt rotors are only the fronts. the backs are the 1g dsm rotors.

 

[Tre3zy]

yea i was talking about the fronts.... the rear i already have

Actually, you're rite about that.

 

When I did my 5lug swap I used 90 talon tsi fwd rotors all around on my ggsx.

^ Do the GGSXs not have two pistons? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif That would explain why the fwd rotors would work, but as for the VR4s and 93-99 AWDs with the 2 pistons, the front rotors are actually slightly bigger than the single pistons.

This is a little off topic but can I re-drill 5 hole rotors to fit 4-lug hubs?

 

[RedTwo]

Yes you can, it's the same result as drilling 4 stud discs into 5 stud - assuming your just swapping 4 to 5 stud within the same PCD

Yes you can. I was running this setup on my car for over 2+ years until I did the 5 lug swap.

+1 on some Brembo blanks

No the ggsx/eagle2000gtx just came with the single pistons. Nothing that just calipers and rotors won't fix when the time comes to replace these rotors. =]

Bump!

For you guys who have done the swap, did you guys get 67.1mm hubs or 69mm? When I look on Brembo's online catalog and look at the blueprints for the rotors, they say 69mm. Then I looked up Galant rotors just to see what the measurements are and they say 69mm too, but I read ours are 67.1mm. Wouldn't that mean you would need a hub centric ring to fit or 69mm hubs? I looked at Project Mu rotors too and all I could come up with is 69mm front rotors for all the years. Thanks.
