Yeah price will be the deciding factor - I'm currently looking at getting a price for the alloy ones from Japan through an importer mate, if they work out cheaper than that then yeah I'm keen! Any reason your not getting them done in alloy?
AFAIK they are a standard rotor for most late model Civics, the DBA part number I have from their catalog is #474, I'm assuming these are the correct rotors, as mentioned they are very close specs to the Mini Cooper S rotors which are being used here for FC caliper conversion. I would prefer the Mini Cooper S rotors as I will be using 15" wheels - so no clearance issues
I am pretty keen to just put them on the car in the alloy setup but am under the impression that most enginers don't like alloy brackets and want steel ones thats all.
I have everthing here now along with the R32 master cycl to just bolt up but will need the bracket off the car to have a set made up as the masters first though.
Anybody know of a good maching shop for replicating these in Steel ??
Pm ME if you do with there contacts, preferably on the north side of Brisvegas .

These weren't cheap , i will add as i had then brought in from Japan through a import broker.
But would be willing to sell if you were interested once i have some steel ones though. PM Me what you are offering for them.

I brought mine from Jap Performance Moorebank NSW 0296016715 , it was $105 delivered. I think that they had this one on the shelf already removed froma booster though. Not sure if they have any more at the moment, just drop them a line to see.
Guys a few years ago when I had a set of these made, a machinist friend quoted a normal price of about $500-600 a pair for these machined from a single piece of steel.
Using Mini discs reduces the amount needed to be milled out, of the adaptor but it could well still be fairly steep in steel.
The guy who did mine was Gerard Hook from Hand-On Engineering in Melbourne, (03) 9431 0457. He will probably remember the job. Also he's all set up so if you email him a CAD file he'll produce it from that no problem.
Yeah I know they arent that cheap, I have a price for the kit from Japan(EG Civic rotors and brackets). But have a mate chasing down what he can get just the brackets for as I can source rotors locally. Also checking if its cheaper to get 2 or 3 sets and on sell the others to save some cash? When I have a price for them from Japan I'll be able to make you an offer.
