I have read the same thing, but that is not what the original poster is trying to do; he wants to convert a base car to all "S" brakes, and the rear "S" rotors are larger. The front "S" rotor and calipers are a straight bolt on, the rear "S" system is totally different, and making them fit takes a whole lot more work and money. I know what is involved as we have done a couple of these conversions; they are expensive and questionable in terms of what you gain for the money spent. For the most part, individuals looking to do this are after "the look", not performance.............
