I've still gotta get a few other people in on it. They have a minimum. I keep getting responses like oh I'll get some when they are completely worn out and surely another company makes them or I'll just get some from america... none of those are going to happen..no one else makes a rotor the same size in this country and america you just won't get them to be bluntly honest people frustrate me!

If anyone has this brake kit I've got dba agreeing to do rotors for $185 each. .. I'm personally taking 4 pairs (that's 20 yrs worth of rear rotors) dba have said this is the last time these will be produced. You could possibly run them with a standard 303mm rear setup with a spacer they are a 4000 series rotor with a t3 patern

In theory yes I could get new longer pipes to join both sides of the caliper made and space it out. But I'm not sure how legal that would be as your altering an adr approved product. To me that seems like a legal and engineers certificate mine field it might just be easier to look out for a second hand set of rear AP's that I can strip repaint the same as the current set and rebuild then I haven't adjusted the design of a product.. its a great suggestion but I think its going to cost me almost as money to do completely legally as it will cost for second hand calipers that will already meet this spec. Its annoying that I can't get new off the shelf calipers for my current set up. Apparently they are the same sizes as fitted to the BA Brute utes

I payed about 3000 but when they first came out they were about $5000. Their is plenty of 315mm rotors out there. BUT they all have different offsets hand break sizes and heights the closest ones I've found are wrx rear they are just too tall for the application. They are about 80mm tall and the ones I need are about 51mm tall it would just be dangerous to try and spacer that out

Yes they were offered as an aftermarket kit on used cars aswell I bought mine in 2008 from somewere in sydney. As for the 330mm rotors. I've already explored this idea but the 330mm rotors from what I've found are a thicker rotor from memory they were 26mm as opposed to the 18mm there is just physically not enough room unless you run used brake pads that are almost worn out.. from memory their wasnt much extra room with the pads and rotor when they were new let alone another 8mm. I thought about getting 4000 series as normally fitted to the premium setup but then you run into the custom brake parts problem with it no longer being part of the designed kit and the 303mm rotors are only 16mm thick new with that being the minimum on thickness on the current setup. I'm still trying to come up with a more viable option but unfortunatly I think that's the best option I've got so far I've looked at getting rotors custom made but then your not getting the same quality you get with dba.. If anyone else has any ideas I'm more than willing to listen. Surely their was a few hundred of these kits produced their must be people out there with the same problem currently.

The normal AP racing kit is 330mm. I recon that's what you'll have.

I don't suppose anyone here owns or know someone who owns one of these kits, they are a silver AP racing brake set up with red writing sold by some Ford dealers and after market parts retailers as a brake upgrade for BA and BF falcons about 5 or so years ago, 4 pots front and rear (they are a phenominal setup). The 315mm rear rotors are now obsolete (DBA42111's) and I'm trying to get a few names together to go through a Sydney supplier to get a small ish batch produced by DBA. If you know of anyone can you please kindly pass my email address on obviously the more people I can get in on this the better the price will be... personally I'll be buying a new pair plus atleast 2 spares the retailer is on board and has approached DBA and is awaiting a formal reply but I'm sure they will have a minimum number required to make the order viable
