Seems to me like I identified that only OE diameter rotors fit under the PYOs, which is exactly what I said and exactly that SSBC says when they say their 3 piston calipers *must be run with OEM size rotors*

So.... we arguing just to argue? You got some other trick up your sleeve to tell me that somehow bigger brakes fit under the PYO's and other 16" wheels? Aftermarket caliper =/= bigger brakes. No leverage increase. Clamp force may be better, I'd have to know piston sizes to do the math, but there is no increase in leverage. Bigger rotors do not fit under PYOs, which I said 3x now.
