    Well if the RT132 hub lines up with the face of the brake caliper then i would say, yes, it will increase track, even more.

    Why are you trying to source blank rotors? The standard drilled rotors are fine, just need to enlarge the holes slightly. Which isnt an issue, my conversion is still capable of shedding 150km/h in about 15m a few years on.

    I thought getting the holes drilled correctly firstly but drilling out the original holes is a last resort. I have to get them down to 266mm anyway so i thought the shop could do it for me at the same time.

    Do they make them blank DBA/RDA?

    Nope you cant get the DBA/RDA ones blank sofar as i know. I enquired ages ago about getting GT4 discs blank for the AE92 Superstrut conversion, and it was a no go.

    only need about 1.2mm filed in the holes to make it fit.

    i had the shop drill the 1mm out when i had the diameter turned down.

    $80 the pair. then still didnt fit so literally 2 wipes of a file (.2mm) and all was good.
