Thread title says it all. If going to the trouble of making brackets why wouldn't a person just go ahead and use the sport trac calipers or lincoln aviator calipers, or some wilwoods for that matter? The aviator's would work, i believe, only the holes are spaced 4&7/8 apart and they are beefy. I haven't had a chance to get my hands on some Sport Trac calipers, but why not use them?
I've seen demonstrations of large rotors with stock calipers overlayed and there's definitely a little bit of a mismatch. I'm sure that the stock 95 to 97 calipers would still brake better on sport trac rotors than they would on stock rotors but wouldn't the sport trac calipers make more sense?
It's entirely possible that I'm missing something obvious, it's happened before, but I haven't read anywhere a compelling reason not to use Sport Trac calipers with the st rotor conversion.
Ftr, I had a long introductory post with pictures of my ride and everything I've done to it but it logged me out automatically and when I hit submit it it was gone and the back button didn't help. I had intended to ask this question in that post.
Cheers!
