Default LS Caliper with Supra Rotors

Can LS Calipers work with Supra Rotors? My friend did this on his 89 Supra and it worked but he had to modify it to fit the LS Caliper, but with the SC no Mod is needed to fit the LS caliper. Now can a MKIV Supra Rotor work with this set up?????? Curious to know what people have to say about this one.

The Supra rotor is slightly larger than the LS rotor in both diameter and thickness from what I have read on here. There may be enough clearance inside the LS caliper for the extra .3 or so.

It probably would work but why not just get the TT rotor and not worry about fitment.

Aliga can sell you the Calipers, I am trying to get the supra rotors on there but don't want to have fitment issue when I do.
If I can find the supra caliper I will and call it a day, like cherplex said, but if LS Calipers will fit supra rotors then we might have something nice going here.
