HEy, just doing a brake upgrade for engineering.

Wondering if anyone had the exacts sizes of the disks for the RA65 and RA60. and which calipers went on which.

Single-piston calipers, 258x20mm rotors. AFAIK the RA60 and RA65 brakes are the same.

I'm almost certain the calipers would be interchangeable. I know the MA61 pads are a little bigger than the RA6x pads, not sure what the difference is in the calipers though.
I'm selling my MA61 hubs, rotors and calipers shortly. Let me know if you're interested.

single piston.
btw can anyone confirm that ma61, sa63, ra60, ra65 have / have not got different calipers?
I know I swapped MA61 calipers onto SA63 struts with not problems...

It's pretty unlikely they're 20mm thick solid rotors. Yes they are ventilated.

Whats that, I had a look through the DBA catalog for the Ford's and could only come up with 16mm thick solid rotors on the rear of Falcoons.
