Y33 brakes 13.6" rotor
Ok i have already done most of the research and i wanted to be the loser to say i was first to do it but somebody else can actually finish. As soon as it got to washers i said **** it imma go with Z32s. But also the R33s GTS-T uses the same size stuff so to speak. of course you can just bolt the Y33 stuff up to your car and go(5th genners only) or use the Y33s rotor and GTS-T caliper.
What i found was the charger R/T uses a 13.6" rotor. Plus Jeff's relocation brackets and you can run an even larger brake setup. Two issues with the rotors one is the Hub size, its 72.6mm that can be overcome with either hubrings(very easy to find btw) or redrilling the rotors. Number two is where i decided to call it a day because brakes on my car with all its "variables" is not a good idea, there is a .44 inch difference in offset between the charger rotor and the cobra, so the caliper has to be pushed BACK towards the inside of the car to fit the rotor.
Now before anybody else says it i will, we are talking about a FWD 3200lbs sedan in most cases, 13.6" rotors are purely aesthetic, it will be an upgrade over stock of course but i doubt they will out perform a Cobra/Q45/Z32 setup. Not counting these are some heavy 1 piece rotors.
Here are some pics of what i had started, this is before i solved the washer issue and i have never driven on the brakes:
Rotor and bracket clearance:
I had orginally tried the setup on Cobra rotors and well here was the problem, Brake pad was not fully contacting the rotor.:
So maybe some of the other brake g0dZ can chime in, thoughts or issues especially with trying to push the caliper and bracket further back, what quality of bolts need to be used with that affair and concerns about safety with the caliper pushed back.
