This may seem like a silly title, but I think is a legitimate thread. Looking at all sorts of wheel/tire combinations for building my budget, I've realized that everything really depends on the hub I want to run (stock 5x110, 5x114.3, 4x100). Then I start thinking about rotor and pad combinations that would best fit the selected hub. With that said, I have a few questions that continue to stump me:
(Note: options would have the parking brake option for the rear on this build)
1) From stock SS, re-drilling the hub or using an adapter to get the 5x114.3 bolt pattern would call for a different rotor pattern as well. How is this currently handled? Are the stock 5 bolt SS hubs just clocked and re-drilled as 5x114.3? Are base 4 bolt rotors re-drilled? Maybe there is a different rotor that would already fit the bolt pattern? Maybe a different bearing all together?
2) Has anyone run a different pad/rotor combo on their goblin? I have typically run EBC Yellow Stuff pads and matching rotors for all my track setups and burn through them fast. I'd love to plan for the same here, but unsure how this would be handled in this application. Even if I didn't run their rotors, I'd probably still like their pads in the long run.
3) What is the current rotor from? I have seen pad numbers floating around, but didn't know what rotors the kit uses. Or maybe I've read it and cant remember
Thanks all!
