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.

Denisst99 can also have rotors for the XG calipers. The rotors are NOT redrilled/modified, they fit perfectly. PM him for details/questions.

Why the secrecy?

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

dude, just grab the sonata rotors
i don't see any secret here ;-)

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.

No no, there's nothing wrong with that, but we STILL don't know much about it.

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
