Default Bigger Rotor Question

Ok so couldn't locate a thread on it but, does anyone know if it is possible to use the bigger rotors that are stocked on the RWD GS F-Sport on a AWD F-Sport. Has anyone tried to this or do they know if it can be done.

I also would like to know if this is possible.

I believe the two-pieces rotors are significantly lighter.

You would have to use the rotors and calipers bc the bolts wouldn't line up w bigger rotors.

I thought the calipers in the RWD were the same as the awd nothing different.

The F-Sport has bigger rotors and calipers up front than a non F-Sport. I'm not sure how an AWD F-Sport is configured though.

That said, the caliper + rotor combination has to stay together because the caliper mounting bracket is designed specifically for the set.

So if you want bigger rotors, you will need the bigger calipers too (assuming they will fit).

Ok thanks, it would be better to get a BBK than pay that for the parts and labor.
