Am I the only one that has recently purchased a set of these? part DR4

The Holes used to attach the rotor to the wheel hub are on the piss.
My supplier compared a set of standard 6 cyl rotors (DR8) and the holes are fine.
Then ordered another set of DR4 to compare and again the holes are slightly out.

So it appears that there is a dud batch of DR4's getting around. I'm assuming they are made o/seas.

Any one else found this to be an issue?
Or do ppl just cough up the extra $$ for the PBR's?

I spoke to Perth RDA
They hadn't heard oif anything... but they don't seem to have sold too many Torana rotors either

Still investigating

Was weird all the 12.7mm rotors fitted fine yet we tried 3 different 15.7 rotors and each of them where out just enough to not be able to get the bolts in.
The brake people said they have never seen it before.... ever.

Ended up getting a different brand and all is good. (I'll let you know which ones when I get them as they are out getting slotted)

Yeah.. may have been worth the extra $90 in the end, lucky I'm in no rush and the guy's at the brake shop are very helpful.
