So I'm getting to the point in the project where brakes might become a necessity.... problem is, not many people have my exact situation at hand.
I'm running the superstrut suspension in the front.... until further notice. Given that, I have all the subrame stuff from the clip, no problem. Bought front shocks, no problem. Bought ss3 twin piston brakes, no problem. came with pads so I can find a matching pad size, no problem. My question comes into play with respect to the rotor (or brake disc whichever you prefer). Does anybody have any idea what rotor is gonna fit off hand? Anyone have superstrut with ss3 brakes? I can't seem to find much of anything with respect to diameter, offset etc etc. I'm hoping the GT rotors fit, but I'm not sure if the offset is right. If not, maybe mr2 turbo rotors? 185 rotors? I could always mix and match, but I'm hoping for some experience and answers if they exist. Thanks in advance to an experienced community...... whom I do no expect to have an answer for me LOL -------------------- ![]() |

Gotta get those diagrams! They show general diagrams before you click any links, so I found the discs right away. Still, you found more than I did. I was trying to find sizes and couldn't find anything for the SS-III rotor. It seems like the offset is the biggest difference.
You know Turnip is running the SS-III brakes. He might be able to measure them for you, or have a comparison between GT/SS-III brakes. It might be worth a PM. S8S8 might have the answer as well.
