Info I've compiled;
The early MA70's with 15 inch wheels and many GA70's have smaller rotors (280mm). . .
The early MA70's with 16 inch wheels, all Late MA70's, all Aussie MA70's, JZA70's and some GA70's have the larger rotors (295mm. . .
The smaller rotors are the same as the 1990's Tarago. . .
Pads are the same on all calipers. . .
Apparently the caliper mounts (on which they slide) are different GA70's VS Ma70's although I cannot confirm this (Who has both?). . .
MA70's with ABS have 3 channel, while JZA70's with ABS have 4 channel. . .
The smaller rotors are slightly thinner than the larger rotors. (Stika, this may be your problem?)

ok well the car is fixed and back on the road read for tomorrows run. :)
this is what i found. i just decided to go by the MA rotors which were 302mm. think they maybe a little thicker two but they fit beautifully. before the ga rotors (280ish) didn't fill out the backing plate and where tiny. but these ones do the trick. the MA calipers are exactly the same as the GA. the only differences are that the caliper mount bracket and slide point has a larger spacing to clear the rotors. they just bolt straight on and the GA calipers can be use because there the same. the pads are also the same right across the range as well. Db431 as well as db431s. so yeh it all makes sense now. lol. like ice said. hahaha. but yeh car works great and pulls up extremely well. cheers for all that help with advice and HARLEY MKIII for the new calipers. :thanku: :lol:
