i just got a new set of DBA vented rotors to replace my stock ones in the front and rear. the rear ones went on fine but the front ones are too thick to fit. is there anything i can do to make them fit? thanks

Did you get vented or cross drilled and slotted? If you got vented ones, you will need spacers for the calipers in order to make them fit.

If you got cross drilled and slotted, you should be able to use a c-clamp and an old brake pad across both pistons and make room for new pads and rotors.

Rob, I am looking into that myself....I know that scorpion racing sells a spacer kit. I also know that the following guy in Canada sells their stuff, but the price he gave more for the whole package was more than I wanted to spend....just didn't get a price breakdown yet...
