      rotor ideas

      hi
      i'm looking for some 13"-14" rotors for my charger
      i will be using hubs to replace the factory style rotor with the 1 piece bearing hub/rotor

      i need rotors with a 5 bolt pattern and a 2"(approx) deep hat to clear the viper calipers most newer rotors have very little hat to them
      i've ruled out late model corvettes, mustangs, cherokees, gm trucks, 300's, vipers(6 bolt),
      i have a limited budget so i can't do the wilwood/baer swap
      porshe caymans would work but are almost a $1000 a pair
      mercedes may work but i'm hoping someone can recommend some options
      below is a pic of my original style rotor
      i need something with a similar offset hat
      thanks jason

      Ive been involved in an install where we used BMW rotors on the old hubs (believe the hubs were ford GVM thet were redrilled for GM pattern), not too expensive and excellent quality.. they have about 1.5-2 inch tall hats and come in sizes up to 14 inches... go down and have a char with your local parts guy and take a look at them..

      Maybe use circle track style seperate hats and rotors. Check out muscle motorsports for cheap used stuff. Hats come in a bunch of depths and as long as the rotor mounting bolt circle is the same as the rotors you want to use you can get pretty much any size you want. As an added bonus they look super trick and the lighter aluminum hat slightly decreases rotating inertia and unsprung weight.
