Apr 1999. Then I recalled private emails between myself and you
(Greg) about finding a 4x108 rotor. I took it upon myself to do the same
as Alex, but never got around to taking the measurements. But I *did*
manage to get a copy of the Coleman catalog :P!

Unfortunately, I have moved on (kinda) to a 1991 90q20v. This car will
require the Coleman two-piece rotor as well, but in a different
offset. The funny hat depth doesn't allow the 20v sedan owners to use
anything stock bigger than an 10.9" (276mm) rotor.

I was just wondering if anyone had come up with a cheaper solution.

                               It might be very useful.
                               But now it is gone.
