Photo below--is the rotor safe to drive with the redrilled pattern as such? I say no, another says yes. thoughts?

 

i would say its fine, but not the best it coul be, i mean there are 2 well placed studs, and the other two, when looking at the way the force is going to be applied in a stopping situation will do their job

 

I dont know, I think it should be fine. But those two holes dont look like there in the best spot.

 

theres no other place for the holes.

 

my next question is this:

is there any difference between the rotor above and the fastbrakes spec-r rotors? are the fastbrakes ones ONLY a 4x100 pattern, or are they also a redrilled 5-lug? anyone who owns the fastbrakes setup care to comment?

 

It's probably going to crack, but there's really no alternative on a stock rotor. Use it, keep an eye on it, and replace it when it breaks.

agreed but o well do what ya gottaaa.

 

It doesn't look perfectly centered to me when looking at the hub in the middle.

 

camera angle was crappy. actually, come to think of it, so was the camera.


the issue is moot. the owner of the car is going to be going with the fastbrakes rotors for simplicity's sake.

 

Are the brakes shaky when they're applied? Is the rotor centered on the hub?

again, the camera angle in that photograph was bad. since that wasn't enough the first time i said it, YES THE ROTOR IS CENTERED ON THE HUB.

i don't know if the brakes are shaky when applied. the car is on jackstands for the winter, so i guess we'll have to wait until spring to see.

 

^^Sorry. I guess I was too cool to read the thread.

 

looks ugly, but should work fine

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE READ COMPLETELY BEFORE YOU LOOK LIKE A GOOFBALL.


this is the final time i will say it: the angle of the camera (and lack of quality in the camera) used makes it appear off-center, but i assure you all, the rotor is, indeed, truly, absolutely, positively, 100%, no doubts about it, centered on the hub.


future comments regarding this issue will be severely made fun of. don't say i didn't warn you.


also, high school literacy would help 99.999% of those who've made the comments time and again realize that those rotors no longer exist. the owner is going with fastbrakes' rotors. if there's a problem with those, fastbrakes can deal with it.

 

Wow, you're so smart ... he asked if you drilled it yourself, not if it's centered or not

 

actually, he agreed with the quote he used regarding it not looking centered.

so you're wrong. scoff.

 

I don't know, if you look at the top left stud it looks alot closer to the hub hole than the bottom left or right stud.

 

:squint:





seriously tho folks......this thread is like the end of a quality cigar. let it die.

 

you will be fine. Myself and SEVERAL others have used ITR rotors drilled to 4x100 with great results. But now I have moved onto running ONLY Prelude VTEC rotors...why???

same size as ITR
hubcentric on the Civic/Teg knuckles (no odd vibrations, etc)
4x100 holes fit perfectly between the 4114.3 lug holes

Plus, the rotors can be had for under 25 bucks from Napa

 

Those rotors are absolutely unsafe.

 

doesnt look so trustworthy to me

 

I don,t think that is a very good idea, but could work for a short time. Why don't you just spend the $ on the right rotor.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE READ PREVIOUS POSTS. I HAVE ORDERED PRELUDE VTEC ROTORS AND WILL BE USING THEM AFTER REDRILLING TO A 4X100 LUG PATTERN.

i typed that as slowly as i possibly could. is there something about this statement (second time i've said it now) that isn't able to be comprehended?
