@lf-tp2511 posted:Wow. What an amazing amount of machining and money just to adapt thin vented rotors.
some Willwood calipers can be widened with a spacer, which would allow the use of the thicker vented rotors used on the later mustangs.
cooling improves with venting, and also improves the thicker the rotor.
My point being, if you’re going to go to all this trouble, why not do it with a thicker and better rotor?
Or, if you choose, or have to stay with the thin rotor for your calipers, you can make this considerably simpler by just buying two of the separate rotors in the screen capture I posted earlier in this thread….. however they are also also thin, and thus not the ideal choice

It is a lot to go through for sure! After seeing your response above I went back into a a few emails I had with the company that is the customer support to Centric and StopTech. At the time a manager was really helpful and gave me an email with this comment in it:
"Preemptively speaking we seem to be able to produce the slotted rotors. This would require an order of 6 sets of rotors (total of 12 altogether). I do not have a cost yet, I am trying to figure that out now."
When he said 12 rotors I said I'll just go with the non-slotted rotor because I didn't need 12. But he also mentioned that he can also make rotors that are not "static part numbers"! This must be how Mike Drew got his original batch made.
I have this guys phone number and some past correspondence with him. He was great so I will reach out to him on Monday on regular business house and see if we can get different dimensions made.
