Yes it is, same part DBA number.

The rotor hat/adapter will look something like this (see image) i think. Maybe out of aluminium, but depends on the size of it. I'm still working out measurements. May do a demo up in 3D.

I can't find any other option for vented brakes under 14's without increasing track. I hope the stuffing around is worth it. It'll be a bigger (if only slightly) disc, vented and with a bigger caliper.Has to be worth it.... right?

Where is the best place to look for brake pad options with a given caliper?

So basically a ~25mm spacer adapter between the rotor and the hub? I reckon that will work

2006-2001 Mazda BT50 is a version of the Ford Ranger isn't it? Those rotors fit the Ford Ranger, Ford Raider and Ford Econoline
DBA 958
Vent: Vented
Diameter: 255.5
Height: 24
Thickness: 24
Min Thickness: 22
Centre Hole Dia: 86

Trying to go vented, under 14's. So the 280mm vented jobs won't fit.
If i use this (see image) BT50 rotor with no modifications and use a custom rotor hat I can fit it behind the hub. I don't like the idea of machining rotors, too much stuffing around when i need new ones again.

tech article: Better Brakes for A10
* 268mm brakes from 280ZX are the go for 14" wheels, but those are non-vented and increase track
* Maddat kit FBK001 has 280mm vented discs and RX7 calipers. Does not affect track

I thought the s13 stuff only suit the 1200 struts, I'm running stanza with coilovers. Am I right or am I wrong? I'm trying to avoid the extra track increase of putting rotor over hub as my wheels are close enough to the guards now. I know it's not much, but the extra few mm of rotor would push it a little too far I think.

What about the S13 upgrade . Easy and works great

Iknow the Hyundi sonata front rotors slip straight over the datsun stud pattern and early commodore calipers bolt on

Slow progress on this little project. (I'm in Perth and car is in Brisbane )
I'd appreciate input on the option that I'm considering at the moment. I couldn't find a disc that would be a direct bolt-on for the stanza strut that would fit under 14's so i've come to a new solution that may be just as good. A mazda BT-50 2wd has disc's that are 255.5mm diameter and does not have a "hat" I.E. they're are only as high as the thickness of the disc (24mm). So i'm thinking of using them and fabricating a custom rotor hat to attach behind the hub, same as the standard solid disc. Is this the right way to go, or am I reinventing the wheel for no reason?
Caliper options are the factory BT-50 single pistons, but for pad options i'm leaning towards the late model Subaru stuff that also suit 24mm but twin piston.
The aim is to get vented discs, no track increase, fit under 14's and have parts availability in years to come... without breaking the bank of course.

As always, thanks for any feedback

20 years old? Nothing that new in the wiki

For Stanza struts, these are the newest(?) the wiki talks about :
* Falcon XF 287mm ventilated rotors
* Verada 276mm ventilated rotors
Brake Swaps

Absolute LEGEND!
