[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 611649, member: 483"] I believe your rotors are currently 12.56" dia. Stock '05 are 13.66". The calipers are a similar design. So figure if you are going to use the stock 05+ brakes with your current wheels you will lose roughly .55" of space between your current caliper and your new one. The stock brakes are heavy, but in terms of 1-ton brakes are probably some of the best ever made. If weight wasn't a concern you would be hard-pressed to find anything better. Especially considering that your current MC setup will probably work with them. I'm personally hoping that you come up with a lighter cheap option that I can copy though. :) Right now my plan is to drill the stock rotors out and cut the back off of them in the lathe to lighten them up. Don't know about calipers at that point yet. What I'm building is way smaller and lighter than yours. [/QUOTE]
