Why not give the event organisers an email to confirm? Let them know what you would like to do (i.e. AP's and bigger rims) and whether it will affect your car's eligibiltiy... |

as for the RA, it probably has a larger homolgated wheel, like an 18" but the cost of the rubber for those wheels becomes a problem.. given you can stick a 330mm rotor and good calliper behind a 16" wheel, its easier to head that way and easier to comply to the rules than dicking around trying to find old homolgation specs for the car

I figured that if Michael South and Tony Sullens could not work it out then I should probably not bother. Other advantage with 16's are that they reduce the unsprung weight ovre 17 & 18's. Brendon

Wheels & tyres are open in all classes as long as they are road legal?? Tony Sullens squezed V8 supercar brakes into his GC8 for targa tas which = 1st place I would not worry about the weight difference. I know Jamie Lister is a big fan of the 16" X 8 but then you have to deal with tyres and if you dammage one they are as rare as rocking horse shit!!! |

Jamie Lister also runs Dukes old AP setup so be worth having a look at them.
Your rotors dont look too bad to me brendan. When you have cracks 1mm+ wide running from the centre all the way to the outside and the pedal shudders when you hit it, its time to replace them. Personally in the short term, pulling off the backing plates and maybe some ducting might help on the multi lap stuff.

And on that note Adrian, JL is running AP calipers @ front and they clear as far as i know... Peter Herd (down south member) is running Alcon's on 16's off top of my head (correct me if im wrong)
edit: beat me to it Blaise :P
