The difference being is those kits us stock rotors. The McGaughy kit is the only "reasonable" priced kit on the market that runs 13" rotors F&R.

Niped- Have you read this post? "Just bought some calipers, any ideas if I can make them fit?"

Have you been able to determine what the OEM application is for the front caliper? I know it's late model GM, just don't know what. If you can find the intended application, it's possible that one of the aftermarket suppliers offers a larger caliper as a direct replacement.
