    Default Whats the minimum distance on front disks?

    My VZ is wobbling at 80Kph and when I brake its really wobbly at 60Kph.

    I have checked the front rotors with vernier calipers and they both have a distance of 28.00mm each.

    What's the minimum distance?

    I'm a toolmaker by trade.

    I Just don't want to have Holden rip me off.

    Also there's plenty of meat on the pads too



    Thanks guys.

    try the DBA website....i *think* it's on there or maybe it's bendix....hmm.

    It should be stamped on your rotors too..

    26mm is ringing bells to me..

    26mm, you can machine them down to remove the thickness variation

    While we're on this topic........ all my brake discs are solid (dont move), apart from my front drivers...... it wobbles (u can grab it and it moves with the wheel off). Can u tighten these or is it my wheel bearing gone?

    for the price of machining you can buy new discs online, mine have been machined numerous times, i still regret it getting new slotted rotors soon. i also have a wheel wobble found out it was a buckle on the inside edge of my rim....

    there designed to move, cause there floating discs, the rest of them arnt moving cause the rotors will have a bit of surface rust holding them on, + the pads and calipers holding it

    VT-VZ are notorious for wobble, and it's very rarely related to the brakes, and 99% of the time float in the front hubs:
