Hi FieRo,

Thanks for the additional info. I measured the center bore of a fiero disc with a simple ruler, its about 57mm if I'm right.
scrolled through all 171 pages of the pdf Steven posted, looking for a matching center bore..

-Fiero 57mm-
mazda 55mm but 4bolt
Alfa Romeo / Fiat 59mm
Toyota Avensis 55mm
elise is 56.6mm but is only 4 bolt
pontiac vibe 55mm 5 bolt
scion tc 55mm 5 bolt
subaru 58mm 5 bolt/100mm ....! Subaru is most close, how bad is the possible difference of 1mm ? ( 0.5mm all around)


.5mm all around with the WRX rotor is so close to a perfect fit - it's just enough clearance that the rotor neatly snuggles onto the hub. I'll get pictures when I clear out the shed.

Have you gotten any further with your project so far?

Well I havent progressed much but I have some encouraging info.
I had a few subaru rotors lend by member 'my pride', I had my hubs turned to 130mm diameter but the rotors just didnt fit, now when we discussed it another idea came up : instead of centering on the centering ring on the hub (that has a small margin) the idea was to center the rotor on the outside of the hub. mypride did this by shaving just a little from the inside of the rotor and now has a functioning subaru rotor / subaru caliper setup ! he said the brakes are awsome, you may want to drop him a pm if you want to know more. Good luck !

Btw last week I had a lead on used prodrive rotors but the seller only wanted to sell them as a complete kit with calipers.
Stock wrx rotors are 294mm, Prodrive (Alcon) conversion is 330mm/ 13" but they are rather expensive new
