Maybe those rotors are an upgrade for cities with solid rotors, because solid rotors would be about 12mm thick at a guess. I can't think of any vented rotors that would ever be that thin.

just went back and had a look at the dba catolouge to find that they do a crx disc that is extremly close to what i have on the city now...
1.3/1.5L (ah-ak crx)
dba no 178
vented
231mm diameter
43.8mm original height
17mm thickness
15mm service limit
61mm center hole

these ones should fit i think all the dimensions are correct except for the center hole being half a mm too big and the overall diameter being 231 instead of 230
hmmmmmm nothing a few mins on the lathe cant fix :wink:
please if anyone is interested check out my findings at the dba website
just search dba then find their online catologue for australia click on honda and have a look.
thanks matty

the dba crx discs...dba number 178 have a pcd stud pattern of 100mm so they will/99.99999 percent surley be a direct match for the 230mm discs found on most turbo 2 citys.this was confirmed via email from a guy in dba's technical department.so there is an easy off the shelf brake rotor replacement for those of you playing along at home 8)
ime still going to investigate these tegta calipers etc though.
cheers matty
