Chuck,
Are there any numbers on the rotors?
Did they happen to come in individual boxes that may have part # on
them?
Do you know the brand name of the rotors?
Did they bolt right up to the TR6 hub or did you have to drill or
elongate the mounting holes?
You said before that you changed from Hawk Blues to Panther plus because
they were easier on rotors. Did I misunderstand you? I'm just curious
because I just ordered the Panther plus pads.
Shimming the rotors? So that guys kit doesn't just bolt up?
Sorry to bomb you with so many questions.
TIA
Mike

Subject: Subject: RE: Replacing front calipers with Wilwood Superlite II
I bought the set from the guy in ebay -- his reserve is around $600. I
had previously purchased Toyota 4 pot pickup calipers to use with the
standard TR6 front rotor. His stuff is the same pad [Toyota P137 I
think is the Raybestos code], but takes a thicker "split" rotor [these
should cool better]. The pins and spring kit are Reybestos. I lost
one, and at the auto store they said they came from a celica [not sure
which one]. I will be trying to backtrack into the rotor based on these
parts so I can get new ones. I got the Panther Plus pads from Carbotech
because they said they had the stock P137 available to coat. I think I
will go back to Hawk Blues when these wear out. Hope to find a cheaper
source as Carbo wants $160 for them! I had some trouble shimming the
calipers so the rotors did not drag on one side or the other. Got 9/16
shims from Mcmaster Carr [a kit came with shims from paper thin to about
.1 inches thick -- a couple of them worked out just right.]
