The SS rotor is 28mm thick whereas the caliper is designed for a 26mm thick friction surface. While 2mm [.08"] may not sound like much, it's enough IMO to abort the plan before it even gets off the ground. Additionally, the SS rotors are what would be considered a wide annulus disc, intended to be used with a pad with a relatively large radial height (like the Brembo calipers use). The C5 rear calipers use a D732 spec pad which are designed to be used with a much narrower annulus rotor, so even if you were to machine down the thickness of the SS rotors, you'd still have a lot of under-utilized rotor mass equating to what is essentially dead weight of the rotation and unsprung variety, the worst kind.

Tobin,
I was afraid that was the case. So now, I guess I need some guidance on what to do. With the calipers I have, what size rotor, what kit that you sell? go ahead and spend my money for me....
Am I looking more toward a 330mm rotor? Is that in the LS rear brake category? Or are they smaller?
Thanks for your help.
