Anyone here every embarked on trying to fit the front Rotors/calipers from a D-90 to the Front of the discovery?

Seems odd to me that with the heavier weight of the Discovery they did not get the vented front rotors from the factory. Loking toward the future here, when its time to change out pads, I was thinking of making the swap. Anticipating towing a Boat, and thought the extra heat dissapation might be nice to have....

Isn't the caliper different to accomodate the extra width of the vented rotor?

I don't think this is vented where the vents are in the middle of two plates, but cross drilled (little holes) sin the same sized (single plate) rotor instead.
