Floating rotors? - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

Hey Philip -

I've been toying with the idea of the wide vs stock thickness floating rotors you sell that work with the stock front calipers. A few questions:

- Do they both use the same rotor hat?
- How much are replacement rotor faces?
- If I bought the stock thickness and decided I wanted to upgrade to wide, could I purchase the caliper spacers/bolts separately?

Essentially, if I bought the stock thickness, could I upgrade to wide at a later point?

Yes, same rotor hats.
Yes, you can unpgrade later,
The replacement rotors cost $189 each.

Is there a huge cooling difference between the two thicknesses? Basically, is it even worth it to mess around with the stock thickness, or should I just go to the wide ones if I'm going to upgrade?

The width makes a huge difference for road racing. Not as much for any other driving.
