I am after some discs for a conversion with roughly the following dimensions:
Diameter: 300mm
Thickness: 28mm
Height: 47-50mm
So far I am thinking of two different mercedes discs DBA280 and DBA288.
However, they must fit over the backing plate, which means I need an internal diameter of more then 180mm.
Do you have these dimensions available?

Thanks dattoman, The 280 seem to be the way to go. I think the rest are made from unobtainium! Two different places for pricing and they don't list most of them :(
dbasteve, any chance I can get the internal measurement for the 280?

I would have to check a sample but I am sure that the I.D won't be >180mm.
The dba 069 Ford Mustang rotor has a tapered hat that opens out to 215mm at the rear.
The other option is DBA 507 rear which has a 190mm hand brake bore.

Steve, the 069 and 507 are too big, I want to try to keep to 15inch wheels (13's are standard!) which I can with 300mm rotors.
I am trying to copy this upgrade without the need for 10mm spacers, and hopefully with cheaper more readily available discs.

So basically I need some 486 rotors with a bigger hat.

Steve, any chance of getting the measurements? I want to do the brake conversion in the next couple of weeks.

bugger, the 504's are too tall, they would hit the suspension :(
looks like I'll be going the NSX disc's with 10mm spacers :(
