alright
enough is enough im gonna find us a set of rotors that we can use for this setup
i need specs though
i need to know what the specs of the xg rotors are so that i can try to cross reference them to another make that has a 4 bolt setup

dude, just grab the sonata rotors and calipers, or the sonata rotors with the tiburon se aluminum calipers in canada. someone got me a quote for them on newtib.com back when i was interested in doing this swap. they were kinda expensive, i think like 225 a caliper or so.
those xg calipers are going to be sooo heavy that they will probably end up hurting you in an autocross situation.
webtech has some specs, but you need more.
disc outer diameter: 276mm
disc thickness: 26mm
rotor hat offset and diameter you will have to actually measure, and then get rotors that are those exact specs, or use spacers on the calipers, which will cause nothing but bad things under hard breaking.
in the end, the xg 2piston caliper swap is not worth it. you get an extra 4 mm rotor diameter if you use v6 gk rotors, and a little bit of lightness if you use the aluminum calipers with the rotors.

Why the secrecy?
I wish folks would come out and tell everyone when they figured something out. It would make everything better.

redz,
this is a know trick across a few forums,so sorry you didn't know it
the only problem (like it was told before ) is the added weight of the XG calipers, while a nice upgrade brake wide it's a bad choice suspension wise

Not that, the way Agarwal was talking, you had some super secret.
Like these Lightweight BBK's we've heard about.

the problem with sonata rotors is i think that the rotor is to big for the xg caliper by like 3 or 4 mm
again im not sure i guess ill have to test fit to make sure
