So, they'll slide on just fine. You'l just loose a 1/4" of the swept area of the pads. You'll have to look up inside your caliper, and see how much of the pads are gripping your rotor surface.<br /><br />The only negative thing I can see (and I know it doesn't apply to you, because you're a consciencious guy about things like this), is I've had guys in here with pads in their calipers almost worn to the metal backing plates. I could potentially see(if the pads are taller than your rotors)that they could wear to a point where that 1/4" strip that isn't being worn down on the pads contacting each other, and effectively preventing the pads from contacting the 11 1/2" dia. rotor anymore. No contact, no braking force on the rotors.<br /><br />Those caliper bodies look like they're tall enough to take the 11 3/4" rotors. Just something to think about.<br /><br />Now, can you get me up on the stage sometime when you're mc'ing one of those wet Tshirt contests? I can dump cold water really well!Irish Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16830702315575079518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214954148985469969.post-6644103250360984722011-02-03T08:17:44.384-08:002011-02-03T08:17:44.384-08:00Hey Rich I first want to thank you for even checki...Hey Rich I first want to thank you for even checking out this pitiful blog of ours with your presence and second thanks for that info..I didn't even consider that little obstacle..for the record these did slid right on..are there differences in the years or do you just lose a portion of the braking surface??
