Brad850 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Does anyone have specs of big reds? I currently have 330mm 1.25" thick two piece rotors, and was wondering if the reds might fit. Also am I correct in assuming that CJ's brackets are only intended for one specific rotor, and I would probably have to get something custom made? I'm not sure how many variables affect the brackets compatibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwdGTP Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I have those calipers/brackets w/ R rotors and never even put them on my car. Just bent a rod or something similar so I need a new motor lol. Might be down to let them go. And what specs you need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how many variables affect the brackets compatibility. CJ's go with (offset the caliper for) S60R rotors - if you get the specs on the stock rotors, you can compare that to what you have & will know right away if they will work.... EDIT: I have a pair of stock S60R rotors in the garage, I can measure the top hat/total offset etc, later if no one else has (or you can't find yourself) that info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scvolvo Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I used audi s8 brembos, basically the same as porsche 911's just black, and made my own brackets, its not hard to do if you wanted to make some to fit your discs. I now use 350mm discs with either 4 pots or xc90 front calipers, i can even get them fitted under 17 pegs and almatheas. However i may be using / making some 6 pot cayenne using 350mm discs.

Scvolvo Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I will do, when I get a min, also got to paint the 350mm calipers, I have to take off my audi 4 pots then I'll make them fit 350mm rotors as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad850 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I have those calipers/brackets w/ R rotors and never even put them on my car. Just bent a rod or something similar so I need a new motor lol. Might be down to let them go. And what specs you need? Not looking to buy at the moment, just would be nice as an option when my stock brakes go. I was looking for min/max rotor width compatibility, and any other specs that matter when mating calipers with rotors. (I don't know much about brakes) CJ's go with (offset the caliper for) S60R rotors - if you get the specs on the stock rotors, you can compare that to what you have & will know right away if they will work.... EDIT: I have a pair of stock S60R rotors in the garage, I can measure the top hat/total offset etc, later if no one else has (or you can't find yourself) that info Thanks for the offer Hussein. Looks like Johann gave me some good info. I actually made a mistake in measuring, and found out my rotors are 28mm thick, which seems to be too thin for the big reds (given the thickness of s60r rotors, and assuming 30mm is the minimum). If someone can tell me otherwise I will get back to you on the offset. The height of my rotor plus hat is 82mm, if that is what you mean by offset. Thanks Johann.

Johann Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 If you have the big reds opt for the S60R rotors. It is hands down the most simple upgrade when you have the correct brackets. 28 mm rotors might work but I wonder if they provide the correct pad height.
