Some years ago I read that brad Roberts was building these hubs that would allow us 4 lug guys the chance to use vented rotors. Apparently for some reason they can't be found anywhere. I have invested $$$ in aftermarket wheels and want to stay with 4 lugs.
Does anyone here have any information about these hubs? Maybe drawings or something, so I can have a set machined. Thanks Zach |

I would lean towards the use of some 'standard' aftermarket rotor and possibly caliper arrangement...less expensive, easy to find, and possibly lighter.

Rockauto is filled with cheap great calipers for cheap. Some decent calipers include... Cadillac cts-v 05-07 Acura TL and RL Turbo rx7 88-91 Volvo v70r and s60r Toyota trucks 79-84 These listed are all 4 piston calipers. The acura RL is interesting because it has a top bolt mount that I really like. Of course all these calipers used rotor of all different diameters and thickness. But that is why I think it would be cool to set a hub up for a wilwood rotor with like their 8 x 7 pattern. Then you could choose a caliper and rotor combo that works best for what you want/need. |
