If it's 305 mm, I think it's a direct bolt on. If it's 330.... Either the knuckle off the car or new brackets.

 

Not sure about the warping cause I've not come across it. The others with that set up should chip in if they can.

 

If the car is being scrapped. . Get it with the knuckle. Better for you.

 

Yup, best to get it with the knuckle-arm ...as u save the hassle of fabricating new brackets. If not, then new brackets are needed, and only few garages can do a precision-cut bracket.

 

Aftermarket Taiwan BBKs are as good now, some are forged too...and quite a few of us here are on them...from 330mm to 380mm..no issues with them set.

i committed to some 330mm brembos from a GT 3.2 being broken in UK, hub carriers and all so it will be a direct fit.

 

adding on to the Asso rims i ordered, doing CPR on my piggy bank now [sweatdrop]

gbp100 to ship everything. quite reasonable for the usually insane UK rates because the whole lot must weigh at least 40-50kg.

the wheels arrived, but no time to change yet. in case anyone is interested to order, the shipping cost (thru Tenso) is $500+ for a set of 4 17". shipping time is 4 days from Japan to your home. no GST incurred as they are considered 4 separate items (but maybe i was lucky).

 

i weighed them on my bathroom scale and it read 7kg exactly (supposed to be 6kg+), not bad for 17"x7.5" cast rims. i will weigh the horseshoes when they come off.

Anyway going for scrap just buy a set of steel rim with used tyres also can. Drilled to 5 x 98 if cannot find correct PCD. But heartache to see lah.
