RBS should be able to do the saloon car style setup, using the mustang 330mm slip on with a custom hub and a C4 or C5 caliper.
its what Cebco used to do. speak to race brakes melbourne too (different company to RBS).

Ended up being somewhere between E series and AU spec, but closer to AU. You couldn't use E-series wheels as they would stick too far out of the body and AU would sit too far inboard. I thought they made a kit in the end that made the hub face sit in an AU position so you could use AU offset rims... But obviously not what svo_matt wants. |

If you want "exact" e-series offset then the UPC Kit won't meet your requirements
I have the MR-Spares - UPC Kit on my car but I have the AU Kit with AU Offset Wheels UPC's Kit comes in two offset's +20 & +28 E-Series Wheels are usually +0 to +6 AU+ Wheels are usually +35 So if you fit AU +35 Offset Wheels with the UPC MR-Spares +28 kit then wheels end up being +7mm track difference Now if you fit +6 Offset Copy Rims to your E-Series the difference in Track between the kit and this set up is +1mm - bugger all and nothing to cry about Dont see anyone having issues with E-Series Copy Wheels (BA XR8, GTP, Cobra, Typhoon, Dark Argent etc etc these are all +6 offset for e-series) on their cars and complaining that their track is +6 off on each side so whats another +1 But Yeah if you want "exact" eseries offset then dont use the UPC Mr-Spares Kit

That may be the case if you run the UPC +20 kit with AU+ wheels? but why would you run the UPC +20 kit when the UPC +28 kit works perfect with AU+ Wheels as per my prev post - i dont understand that logic?

They are still listed in DBAs catalogue. Not that it means much, but it doesn't make sense to me for them to discontinue them when they do a hundred and one other rotors for weird and wonderful s**t that no one buys? f**k Alfas and s**t  Both RBS and Race Brakes Melbourne do kits using the slip-on 330mm Mustang rotor anyway.

Give Matt a a call at Race Brakes Sydney, I was pretty sure that he uses ELGT rotors and AU calipers in his 2 piston front setup as they are easier to source. Race Brakes Melbourne use (or use to use) Mustang rotors and they are the guys that bought Cebco.

Im pretty sure the RBS kit dosent use the DBA slotted rotor but uses another brand which i havent tracked down AS YET
 but i have found another company that do the EL GT rotor in just plain non slotted or drilled.Personally id go slip on matt as there cheaper and u can find some sick rotors from the US that u can buy.
