I'm thinking about buying this kit, looks like great value! My question is I'm running 7.5 inch discs at the moment, will these just be a straight swap or will l need to buy other parts to get these on the car. Hopefully l won't have any clearance issues my wheels are force racing 10x6 rims. Thanks everyone for there advice

Sorry, can't help you. But good to see you went with the wheels, any pictures yet?

Interested in the answer too, considering the KAD version as an upgrade down the track.

I'm guessing these are metro discs shaved down to 7.9. So I'm guessing its a bit more than a straight swap

Hey mate I dont think these are a straight swap as you will need diferent drive flanges. Not sure if the caliper mounts are the same tho.

Yes they would. Are you sure they still gonna fit under your rims.

I only use 8.4 discs so no clue about what fits under 10's

I think it was $1200 to my door, but don't quote me, the photos don't do them justice. I find it easier to call Carl at force racing wheels and have a chat to him, really nice guy to deal with.

Righto l called pommy land and spoke to a guy at minisport. He reckons 7.9 ventilated 4 pots will fit with no problems to my split rims, so I've ordered a 7.9 ventilated disc drive assembly in gold!
