4th gen brake discs

Post by Ash.Z » Wed Jan 30, 2013 10:59 am

I'm thinking of upgrading to ATR calipers, and I'm confused as to which discs I will then need. My problem is 4 stud, so are there any 300mm 4 studs available, or will I need to get 5 stud and re-drill. I know there are several threads in brakes but it is not entirely clear. At bit of guidance appreciated.
Cheers

Or you can keep your existing caliper carriers and discs and just swap the calipers themselves.

Not wishing to seem dumb, is it a case of lay one over the other to get the exact positions?
