[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 15516399, member: 138028"] Hi Tob, from reading the first posting I am under the impression that the OE poster was looking for GT350 rotors that would be a straight replacement for our rotors or with minimum modding. Shimming if it turns out would allow those rotors to work on our cars would be very minor for them to work. The fact that the 350 rotors are 0.5" larger in diameter means they will not fit within the original mounting position of our 6 piston Brembo caliper. Yes I'm sure anything can be made to fit if you put enough thought into it and figure out how to get it on but it wouldn't be a simple mod. In simple terms you would need to move the caliper away from the OE mounting location 1/4" or so to fit the 350 rotor inside (assuming the shimming of it is figured out and the rotor is centered properly inside the caliper with pads in place, also being that the rotor is curved the distance you have to move the caliper out is probably a little less than 1/4" that's getting into the math and I'm not getting into the specifics of that). So moving the OE Brembo caliper out 1/4" or so to fit the 350 rotor means like you said a different caliper bracket, but this bracket would be a very small bracket for that distance you will move the caliper out. I'm guessing the caliper would have to be moved slightly to a different position laterally so you can bolt the bracket to the original position on the spindle then mount the caliper onto the bracket spaced out slightly (for the rotor) and in a different position on the bracket than where the bracket is mounted to the spindle. Another option is to cut the ears off where the caliper mounts originally and mount a bracket lower on the spindle but spaced properly for the caliper to be in the OE position but positioned higher for the 350 caliper.......................or cut the ears off and weld a spacer to put the caliper higher. Basically you get the idea.................I have no clue if what I mentioned in the previous paragraph is proper or safe to do (we are talking brakes so these types of mods have to be well planned and thought out before doing them), obviously it is not as simple as just moving the caliper higher on the spindle to get the 350 rotor on.
