I agree, try a different parts supplier. Might even try Jegs or Summit. I am sure RockAuto has them but, the shipping might be a little steep for a heavy rotor.

Re: Where can I buy 1" thick front rotors and calipers?

When I bought drop spindles I ended up having to go to 1 inch spindles. I purchased them from oreilly's under part number 5032RGS. If you look at the specs at your local parts store the 1" rotor is 4.65 total height and 1.25" rotor is 4.95 total height.

Tried them, they either can't get them or some oline stores don't have posted thickness.

Hope that helps. Advance auto has measurements in millimeters. 26.3 millimeters converts to about 1.035 or 1 1/32 inches.

Calipers should be the same. I didn't have any issues using mine when I switched to the 1" rotor. The advance auto part numbers for inner and outer bearings should be A-5 and A-6. I would drop them in the rotor first and make sure they fit.
