ok guys and gals..

My v6 ts wagon has 276mm dics's so im happy the new calipers will fit.... by the way the discs are dba wiper slot with Bendix ultimate at the front.

Will get around to fitting the twin piston calipers soon. and then will have a pair of rebuilt single pot calipers and pads for sale to suit 276mm disc.Done about 1000k's

Looking at the rear being a wagon i got the calipers of a ks to suit vented discs. i have solid but will upgrade.

I know about the lines etc...etc..(abs said 45 bucks a hose).... but had a look around and can only buy std dba dics and pads for my model.

the newer KL 4wd model has a listing for wiper slot disks on the rear!(i have on the front wiper slots). So here is my problem.The dba website says the hat height is about 5.3 mil smaller but all other measurements are the same. this is a wagon remember...they have larger rear disc's.

Can i space the calipers to suit? And will there be enough meat for the hand brake? im yet to pull off my rear wheel for a measure but you guys are good so some advice would be nice.

Also what pads will fit a ks vented rear caliper.....above std. or is std ok in the back.

thanks heaps

the car is used for fast general transport no track.....but i like good brakes.. and no i dont speed ...live in mt dandy Victoria so brakes need to be good. would like a track day ,one day so im doing it now...etc.

Bump ahty Bump!

Why don't you just take them to a machining shop and get them to slot the rotors? Hell if you wanted to you could have "MAGNA" written into them! that would save alot of hassle.

i got my standard dba rotors slotted for a box of beer . slotted from dba is a ripoff i got quoted 63 std each , 145 slotted each .they put the rotor on another machine and they get to charge over double 2009 biggest ripoff award goes to dba

Right you are!

i wouldn't buy the std slotted, im after the wiper slot. Different material and better.

I may end up with you suggestion as i think to fit the late model i may need to much machine work for the 5 mil and also weaken the mounts.

Whats a good pad for the back ???? to suit vented rear abs dics? i have kr-ks calipers.
