Still waiting, gonna call them on my next day off (27th) and see what's going on.

 

[Mordis]

alright so kinda of an update, I called them on Tuesday and spoke to Rob and he said that the front rotors were holding up the whole thing, which I already knew. However he said that he was not sure what the deal was and he was going to check into it further and call me back. So I waited until today and called him myself and he said that the supplier that made the bigger front rotors for them went out of business and they have been trying to source another supplier to make the rotors for them. So at this point he said that he still can not give a firm ETA and he thinks it would be at least another 4 to 6 weeks. So i'm gonna look into what @BridgestonePHM9 said and see if Wilwood or another manufacturer makes a bigger rotor that will fit the SSBC Kit, if not then I guess I keep on waiting it's already been 3.5 months what's another 4 to 6 weeks.
:th_crazy:

 

[BridgestonePHM9]

Wilwood makes all the way to 16". I think the 14's have the same bolt pattern for the SSBC rotor hat.

That's horse shit.............they took your money with out a friggin supplier for their kit?????

Sitty titties. That's the right attitude to have though I think. At least I imagine it's better for your health, haha.

Give 1badi5 their info and he'll go open up a can on your behalf lol

Na I'm not out any money yet they don't charge until it ships.


Anyone know what bolt pattern is they use on the SSBC front rotors?

The bolt Pattern according to the site says it is "ST" whatever that means.
Disc Brake Kit - Front - 3 Piston Tri Power - 14 inch rotors - A117-12

Wilwood has 3 Rotor Bolt Circle(s) for rotors that are 14"x1.25" they are: 12x8.25 - 12x8.75 - 12x9.19

If you need any info I have my wheels off the front of my truck now. I have the SSBC kit installed.

Here's the packing list from my order if that helps.

Here is a pic from Wilwood's site, the measurement im looking for is the rotor bolt circle. Basically distance from center of a mounting hole to it's opposite mounting hole center.

Thought I might be onto something since your pic has the individual rotor part numbers but nothing comes up when I search SSBC's site for those part #'s

 

[Fitzter]

I'll check tonight for you.

 

[Fitzter]

From the bolt around the rotor center to the other sides bolt is approximately 8 3/4 inches.

Awesome @Fitzter Thanks for the info based on that info looks like these would be the Wilwood equivalents for the front i think? someone correct me if i'm wrong:

Edit: Wrong rotor's, There are no Wilwood direct equivalents.

The only thing that concerns me about the Wilwoods is that the Far Side I.D. is 10" on those rotors compared to the rotors that @BridgestonePHM9 used on his setup which his Far Side I.D. was only 9.46" but his rotors were only 13.06" so a smaller rotor with a bigger contact area compared to the ones linked above.

I'll call SSBC next week and talk with them and see if they have any concrete info on their front rotors and if not if they will take some money off of the front kit since I wouldn't be getting the fronts from them.

I have some thinking to do cause if I do decide to wait for SSBC's rotors I might buy the Beltech coilovers for the front & shocks for the rear and install those along with the Helwig swaybars I already have waiting to be installed.

Ok some more news in the SSBC drama...

So I called again today and spoke with a guy named Randy and he informed me that per his boss the Front Kit is now an inactive product he did not say it was discontinued but he did say that it is inactive. So anyone that is looking to buy this kit be aware that you can only buy it minus the rotors. Also anyone that has this kit that would need new rotors for a brake job or anyone looking to buy new will have to look into other options for now, they may get a new supplier in the future and sell them again but at this point who knows.

Now In my case I requested what I had ordered minus the rotors and they are going to take the cost of the front rotors off of my total bill. I am going to continue to look into the Wilwood options above but I am going to need to some more measurements from SSBC rotors to be sure that they will work if someone would be so kind.

As I said before here is the mesurment diagram: http://www.wilwood.com/Images/ROTORS/Rotor Drawings-Large/GT-72-Curved-Vane-Rotor-dw-lg.jpg

And here is what we know:
Rotor Diameter: 14"
Rotor Width: 1.25"
Rotor Bolt Circle: 8.375"
Lug I.D.: 8.5"

What we need to confirm:
Far Side I.D.: ?

Anyone that has SSBC Rotors that would be willing to look up these two measurements I would appreciate it.

What a pain in the ass.....:hulk:

These are the best I could do. The lug I.d. is hard to get on the truck.

 

[Fitzter]

I'm going to do some digging and might be able to help you out.

 

[Fitzter]

Okay this isn't pretty but this is what I have found. The front kit uses brake pads that are fitment D-731. That fitment lead me to the 2001-2004 Z06 brakes. Looking up rotors for the 2001-2004 z06 for wildwood lead me to these!

Wilwood High Performance Disc Brakes - Front Brake Kit Product Number: 140-12496

But you will still need the adapter from SSBC for the middle. I would start here though and see what wilwood says about them.

Thanks again for the info. So with the corrected Rotor Bolt Circle size looks like Wilwood is out since they don't have any rotors that are 8.50" as far as working with the SSBC Hats I'm thinking the only option here would be custom made hats.

The problem with that kit is the rotors used in that kit have the wrong: Rotor Bolt Circle, Lug ID & Far Side ID based on your measurements of the SSBC rotor

@Mordis Where did you get the 12x8.50" measurement?

 

[Mordis]

@Mordis Where did you get the 12x8.50" measurement?

From @Fitzter couple posts up, i'll confirm it on Thursday when the hats arrive. I won't be able to confirm the Far Side I.D. & Lug I.D. though since I dont have the rotors.

I did send an email off to SSBC yesterday to see if they would give me the official specs but haven't heard back from them yet, I'll try and call them tomorrow if I get out of work early enough.

 

[Rick_crew]

I purchased the SSBC front rotors in late '14 and received rotors that were not 355-style captured rotors, instead they were the "hat" style.

Took three calls to SSBC to convince them that there was no way the rotors were for a 355. They eventually refunded my money and didn't even want me to bother shipping them back.

I assumed at the time that the rotors they sent were probably for their rear disc conversion kit.
