Re: My whole braking system - thinking out loud

Those calipers are the 'Metric' calipers. They are sized for rotors that are in the 1" thick range. That is the style of calipers that I was using with the Lincoln rotors. The Astro rotors are 1.250" thick.

Would these work on your brakets? I have seen these on eBay for less than $150 for a pair minus the pads.
