ok. sorry to ask questions that may have been touched on previously, but i have to work out what setup i need to do on the slide86.
i have a setup consisting of s14 callipers (four piston) and at the moment peugot 604 rotors (i dont want to use these, to narrow)
i was considering the standard s14 rotors.
now, i want to use the factory ae86 hubs. should i make the rotors fixed to the hub from the rear like they are factory. Or make them floating and put them on the front of the hub.
i know either way i will have to make special adaptor plate to hold the callipers but the way the discs are mounted has me thinking.
would appreciate youer views or ideas, even setups that you have tried/are currently using....

i have thought bout converting to s13 front end BUT.....
s14 are 5 stud wheel pattern and i dont think the hub will bolt onto ae86 stub axle.
also, converting to s13 front end means i have to source another set of coilovers (i already have the sleeves and stuff to convert factory struts to coilover) so i was going to use the s13 setup as a last resort...
any other ideas???

Use the bigger Skyline rotors and calipers installed over the front of the hub - I suppose you could use the smaller S14 stuff if you prefer though. It all works in fairly well, just takes a little bit of patience and messing around with a lathe etc.
