3.7mm spacers. Hoppers Stoppers in Melbourne know what's required. They had a set lying around when I was in the market last year but I think that was luck, not a normal scenario.

380 rear brakes need more than just a spacer. The 3.7mm spacer is to fit AWD rear rotors to rear of a FWD magna

he is talking about 380 ones...the bore centre hole is too large or small to fit...

The centre bore is no dramas at all as they can be machined out (if too small) or the spacer can be made to fit inside the centre bore (basically like a hub adapter does when fitting some aftermarket wheels) The way i made my 3.7mm spacers is like that so that they actually become part of the rotor not just a large "spacing washer" to move set the rotor hat height...

Gee that probably makes no sense to many people.....

Jason,

Would you be able to fit the 380 rear hub to a magna to make these fit?

I wanted to try this but $400 for everything required was a bit steep if it doesnt work.

Thanks.

To be honest i havnt fully looked into the 380 hub setup but i highly doubt that it will fit a magna without substantial mods.

In my opinion you are better off fitting the ralliart rear brakes or if ya cant source them (the ralliart rear rotors are nearly impossible to find secondhand and arnt worth the $300+ each to buy new ones from MMAL) then just go with the AWD rotors with the 3.7mm spacer and use the ralliart/awd caliper... much more cost effective and less rooting around.
