Whats people opinions on running brackets for brake calipers to run larger rotors? Got DBA4000 rotors but need to get them machined down to ~290mm. Wonder if its worth running a bracket and just keeping them 330 or whatever they are

yes I am serious.....dude i sent you PM...will fix and respray your bar for 200, good as new..... ;)

for another 200 I will paint correct and detail your whole car...for 600 I will do naughty unspeakable things to it...

Interesting - do you fix scratches and chips too?

are they new?? why not just trade them for 290mm rotors...I know DBA supplier if it helps...

Wrx calipers are actually the sane as s14/15, they're cast iron not alloy

Edit: unless were talking rears.

maybe classics yea. my 02 has 33 sumitomo's. exact same part number for pads. front and black.

but could be iron... f**ked if i know.

take em back.

contact garage 9 mention me, and he will sort you out.

you know Jason?

pretty sure if you mention me, you will get an even bigger discount :P

he supplies my pads and rear rotors.

there are only like under 10 sets of aftermarket wheels in 4x100 that will clear the calipers. though might be more now with all the positive offset wheels on the market now... but usually 15" or smaller becoz honda/MX5. which wont clear them...

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
