    Default DBA Rotors question

    Hi all, couple of months ago i purchased a couple of second hand DBA rotors for my VR Stato, they were advertised as a VT brake upgrade for VR-VS, the seller had them on his VS, i never ended up fitting them to my VR stato, (sold it), but when i tried to fit them to my WH stato they wouldnt fit (hub hole too small), so my question is are the VR/VS hub holes smaller than the VT/VX/WH? If so, can they be machined to suit VT/VX/WH etc? Seems to be about 1mm too small, any advice appreciated thanks.

    yes the hub centre of a vr/s is 1.5 mm smaller than a vt and onwards unit...sounds like you have the ones made by dba to adapt the vt unit to a vs without shims..usually you have to use shims to make up for the 1.5 mm difference to get the fit right when bolting stock vt discs to a vr/s
    This is my vr that I rebuilt ....CLICK HERE to see my vr on Cardomain ......if you want to check it out......Anyway make sure you rubbish a ford daily ....I am a 4DH8RZ Club lifetime member .................new members joining everyday

    could find someone in a similar situation that has the correct type for the VT up but was looking for the VR VS shimless type and do a trade.
