I have a set of 325mm bells and rotors for sale in 4x100pcd with a pair of four pot calipers.

I bought them to convert my 180 but due to a new project car I can't justify holding on to them.

They were originally fitted to a coupe. Be aware that they will not fit straight on to a ZS.

They will need a bit of fiddling as, although the bells share the same pcd as the zs/zr etc, the rotors are slightly thicker than the standard discs. They will need a small amount of machining to the outer face to allow the wheels to sit on the hub spigot correctly.

The bracket for the 4 pot calipers aligns perfectly with the bracket for a zs's standard caliper, but where the standard bracket takes m12 bolts the conversion bracket is drilled for m14, so will require either a retap of the original bracket or some reworking of the conversion item.

The bells could do with a bit of repainting or powdercoating to make perfect as could the calipers as they are a little chipped.

Calipers are freed up and come with a set of part worn pads and braided lines connected. Calipers are lucas girling four pots and I have the lucas original part number for replacement pads.

I cant identify the brand of bell or rotor but Ive taken them apart and refreshed the bolts and with A4 stainless bolts and nylocs and popped some duralac between the two parts.

I dont 100% know if the calipers definitley fit under straights. However They were fitted under some 17' kahn rsr's on the coupe

I'll post these anywhere for free.

I only want back what I paid for them £350

Cheers
Marty

I'm quite tempted, do you recon they would fit onto a ZR fitted with ZR160 hubs?

I know the ZR160 brakes are similar to the ZS180 ones, but if anyone knows if these will fit for sure let me know!

Whenever you see ZS180 disks/pads they also list the ZR160.. So would have thought they'd be ok?

Just a guess though! (Helpful eh?:p)

At a guess the most straight forward option would be to put coupe hubs on the ZR. However I can see any reason why the setup isnt the same zr160/zs180

I just bought ZS 180 brakes for it and they're not even on yet! lol

Think I'll leave it then pal, sounds like it's going to get expensive
