84-88 Carrera rotors are 24mm and 78-83 SC rotors are 21mm wide so does that mean you can use the Carrera calipers on the SC rotors but not SC calipers on Carrera rotors??? Paul S. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Hey Eric & jt, thanx for the replies. I understand what you guys are saying and it makes total sense. I didn't intentionaly buy SC rotors and Carrera calipers. It's just what I ended up with and was hoping they would work together. I thought about the 4mm (not 3mm as I said before, thanx Eric) diference in pad wear and just didn't think it would be an issue unless I let the pads wear down that far which I never do or would do. And if I used the thicker S pads they would be TOO thick wouldn't they? I guess I was asking if there would be any other problem pairing the two together other than the pad thickness. I wouldn't think there would be a problem as long as I changed the pads at say 50%. Seems like you would have to wear them down to bare metal before they started leaking or coming apart. Anywho, My rotors are new and I didn't want to hunt down another set of calipers if I didn't have too. Paul.
