I just bought 3G Ultimate brake rotors and green stuff pads from POTN . They are work so good in this tropical climate that i live in . i reccomend it to any one who needs to upgrade their brakes.

Hi Andre

Don't know anything about the rotors but the Greenstuff and Redstuff pads have not been popular on this site or the MLR - too many complaints about poor quality.

Could you keep us posted on how you get on with them for future reference.

I have just fitted Ferodo DS2500 pads to mine

The green stuff pads might not work properly in the uk's cold climate but hear in Barbados where it is hot most of the time they work great. some times i ask my self if they would cause the tire to be ripped from the rim .

The rotors looks really fierce!

I have the Evo 7 Brembos instead with DBA X-drilled and slotted Rotors.

Am looking forward to the Project Mu HS-Kais....provides good braking but quite "dusty".

Wrong move to have gone to Mintex! Lousy pads!

Spotted this lot in cars and car conversions. No idea if they're any good or prices, but thought I'd post it up anyway.

Hey those rotors look great! U got the rears as well?
Was trying to a set of compatible ones from DBA but i duno e specs, can you help me?

I need to find out the height of the brake rotors.

http://www.dba.com.au/catalogue/pdf/online_pdf/m.pdf

If you refer to the above link, on the top of each page is a diagram of a rotor. Would like to find out what is 'B' 'Original Height' of the front and rear rotors of post 1999 VR4s and if any of the rotors in the Mitsubishi section are compatible for use.

Cheers!
Sam

PS: BTW i am from Singapore so is there anywhere i can get those here?

non brembo evo 4 and evo 5s use the same disks on the front - not sure about the rears.

I think some post 99 users on this thread have found that the disks are the same.

Hey EA, u r here 2! haha!

I am looking at replacement rotors for VR4 not VRM/FTO.
And even after ur advise on e specs i still cant make out which is the correct one on DBA. So the last measurement i need is the size of e 'HAT' to confirm it b4 i actually jump into river's boat to JB...
