Thanks guys, funs not over yet either

is it the pictures or my eyesight, or is your rear centering ring not "centering" it looks heavily moon shaped.

Its the picture, its a bad angle. I literally was pulling my car in the shop at closing time. Talked my boss into staying for a few min extra to let me take the pics so I snapped off what I could.

goodwork. tough job and you did well to do it for that cost including a rear twisting beam. The key for you imho is accurately machined centering rings

Sometimes its good to have employee discount. If I had been a reg customer I would easily cracked $1100-$1300. Yeah I think thats the current issue I'm having too. Getting mostly noise but very slight vibration braking when the rotors are cold. Buddy of mine in NC was taking a machinist course last spring. I got him to make the rings for me. The outer diameter was spot on perfect without rust in the way and the height was good too. Unfortunatly we had a little comunication issue. The inside diameters up front where WAY to tight. I had to open them up with my dremel and a rough sanding drum. Now I'm trying to find someone who can make hub rings Mk2.

sorry to bring back a dead-ish thread, but what parts did u use? did u take a 5 lug hub and redrill that and the rotors to 4x100 and then get the corresponding bracket and caliper? Sorry im a little confused

[montecarloman]

No, I re-drilled the 5 lug rotors to the 4 lug pattern

its not easy you have to key off one hole and it becomes oval. I do NOT recommend this for front brakes. Rears dont do much the front wheels brake steer accellerate and stop and three of four rotor holes keyed correctly is not good. 4 x 100 is hardly good for a performance car.
