larger rotors, help
my rotors on my rs are beat to hell, i beat on them fairly hard and tend to warp them allot lol. sooo im in need of new rotors , sense i need new ones and im on a tight budget, i was thinking of the possibility of using stock calipers with larger rotors. does anyone know of a bracket to do this?

i know the spindle is different, but i dont see the difference of a cut up stock disc to creat the hub or the 4th gen hub... are the bearings the same size and the shaft the same size?

You will have a HECK of a time uprgrading to ZL1 calipers one piece at a time. The rotor thicknesses are all off.

Re: larger rotors, help
like i said, look at pics of the rotor/hub for a 3rd gen and a hub for a 4th gen and it starts to make sense.. better yet, maybe head to a junkyard and see if they'll let you look at different cars to help better visualize how it all goes together- that will tell you a lot more than the typed words from random strangers on the internet..
