It would appear these do not fit!

We tried to fit these today only to find they were the wrong size.
The seller maintains they are correct.
Buyers beware!

This is what my mechanic says about them....
Yes Mike is quite right, the front braking surface is too far away from the hub, about 2mm to far away so you would need to fit washers between the caliper bracket and the hub BUT this is a stupid idea and not to be tried AND also that still wont work as they clash with the back plate anyway stopping the bolt from going into the threaded holes if you was stupid enough to try using washers!

The hub pokes through the centre of the new disc by 3mm, the old discs leave about 10mm of hub poking through!

Definately the wrong ones for this vehicle!

In hindsight i wish i took a few pics now! would of been handy for you to send the seller

What do you mean they were the "wrong size"? Is the hub bore incorrect, pcd, or are the rotors too large or too small?

Okay. Thare are many cars with the 5x114.3 pcd, but not alot with the correct 60.1mm hub bore. Are the rotors the correct diameter?
Sounds like they might be for a Lexus, which would explain the more positive offset of the rotor.

The diameter seems ok.
The UK supra site reckon they are for non ABS and the rears will fit ok but the dust guards need to be ground for the fronts to fit.

This exactly how my Powerslots were fitted on my N/A.

That's the 2nd time that I know of that Brakemasters has sent out rotors that wouldn't work (another poster on another board bought them). In the other case they wouldn't work because the overall diameter of the rotor was too large and rubbed against the inside of the caliper. Maybe poor quality control wherever they're buying them.

In any case, it appears to be one of those situations where when you buy cheap, you get cheap. :3d_frown:
A 98.7 feedback rating isn't much of a recommendation either. For myself, I don't buy from anyone with less than a 99.5 rating.

Not to mention crossdrilled AND slotted is completely STUPID.

If anything, DO NOT CHEAP OUT ON BRAKES, THEY WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE.

Not necessary to have both, but I had an E Bay kit on my car for a couple of years w/o any problems. Was a noticeable improvement over stock!
