RD1 Rotors and calipers on LC2
Ive asked before if any of the Tibs rotors had the same offset as the Accent to fit the hub and someone on HP told me the RD1 Tib rotors AND calipers bolt right in if you redrill the holes to 4x100. Has anyone on here done that or know if it works? I have them and want to try it but dont want to risk it not working.

I have heard that they do not bolt up but I've never tried myself. See if the caliper bolts on and if it does and looks halfway close it'll be worth redrilling your rotor to see.

If you want to wait 8-9 weeks I'll have an answer for you LOL! I ordered some DBA slotted rotors for a brake upgrade I'm trying out. They have the same basic dimensions as a tib/elantra rotor but in a 4x100 bolt pattern. Same with the rears except I ordered the rear disc adapters from AtelierHP.com. I just have to track down some cheap OEM calipers and brackets for the tib/elantra. Not sure if its gonna work but if it doesn't I'll be out over 400 bucks!
