Larger rotors?

Does anyone recall seeing a site/company that sold brackets which allow the Akebono calipers to accommodate larger rotors?

Don't think it's possible.

I remember seeing a site that was selling various BBK's for our cars as well this bracket kit for the Akebonos. Hmmm...maybe I'm just crazy....Anyone else?

I don't see why this couldn't be done. I did this in my Z32. I got Z33 track rotors and with a brack moved the calipers. Worked great since the calipers were great just the size of the rotors didn't provide the braking torque i needed.

I checked their site, they don't have anything listed. I specifically remember seeing pictures of the bracket kit along side the other BBK's they were selling. Why oh why didn't I bookmark!
