    Default Where to get HSV front rotors?

    Hi.

    Does anyone know the best place to get some HSV front rotors? Not sure of the size, I think they are either 330 or 343. Need some for a roady and they arent cheap!

    Holden want something like 300 each or something so am just hoping I can find a 2nd hand pair. Ebay doesnt seem to have a lot..

    Cheers

    check repco, they would most likely have them, and they will probably be cheaper than holden

    Firstly you need to know which size you need as there is a big difference in price between 330x28, 330x32 or 343x32.
    What car are they for and what calipers do you have fitted
    330x28, VN-VS HSV (VN/VP are hub style and VR/VS are hat style).
    330x32, VT-VZ HSV with 2 piston caliper in red or prussion blue, similar in look to the stock caliper.
    343x32, VT-VZ HSV performance brake up grade, Harrop 4 piston calipers.

    As Surfwagon said, what size exactly?

    I switched my piece of shit HSV over to EBC rotors, much nicer than the crap that moves with HSV, much cheaper also.

    As has been said, you'll need to know exactly what size off what model.

    Just your rotors or your calipers as well ?

    I find the rotors in the VE's are a lot better than VY-VZ Hsv's

    Hi. Still trying to track some down. Holden said they want 750 each. How do I know if they are the 4 piston ones? I measured with a tape and it came at exactly 343mm. Does this mean that they are the 4 piston ones? The ones currently on the car do not have slots....

    I found a set on ebay, although it says they might need machining, not sure if its worth the risk of them beeing too thin.

    Any advice appreciated

    Just the rotors mate, found it made a massive improvement. Don't seem to have that big an issue with the calipers, harrops handle it pretty well.

    Hi again.
    I've found some. Not sure to get Gold or Silver though? The rears have Silver so I'm guessing it will look funny with Gold on the front? Anyone got any pictues?
    Cheers
