(if so, the OE fit calipers you could buy from AP/Brembo/so on wouldn't be fat enough to fit the rear rotor) HOWEVER, if there is interest, I'm sure RA would make aftermarket calipers as well to fit these
if their rear rotors are thicker, a shim won't do anything. There is only a finite amount of space between both sides of the akebono caliper with pads installed. the only solution with a thicker rotor is thinner pads.
