$250 is the going price for these on internet forums. I couldnt find a set for less than $375 from any importer.
I just picked up a set for the same price with pads, good luck with the sale, if you have any problems just throw them on www.ausrotary.com and they will go like hotcakes.

Bigger in what way? Pistons are the same size according to rebuild kit part numbers. Are the bolt spacings different?
Maybe I should come and grab that one you have Blake and check it out for my self.

Sold series 6- Buying series 4/5

They look identicle so i guess the piston size would be the same- the only reason i said bigger was from the dba web site lists the rotors as larger- my mistake.
Calipers have been sold- I am still looking for series 4/5 if any1 has a spare set.
Thanks

I have a rotary-nut friend and from what I know, S6 have a 2mm thicker disc than S4/5 and it is slightly larger diameter too. So the calipers will be bloody similar, jsut with a fatter slot in them. May be slightly different mounts too.
Check to DBA catalogue to be sure on this though.

the difference between series 4/5 and 6 is the casting technique, series 6 are squeeze cast, slightly lighter and stiffer than previous (not that series 4/5 have a problem with flex), all series 4/5/6 have the same size pistons. Series 7 are squeeze cast but have different sized pistons trailing and leading to stop pad taper wear(I use these). Series 8 also use different sized pistons but are designed to take a rotor which is 32mm thick(like and SP, which basically just used RZ JDM calipers). Note that some series 7 also have the larger calipers(designed for thicker disc) but not on Aus models, all Aus modes series 4/5/6/7 are designed to be used with 22mm thick disc.
