What about this one? 28mm OE Caliper
http://www.racingbra..._p/2144-381.htm

Yep, you're right. It says OE Caliper in the description but the disc is 28mm wide.

Curious why they say this one works with the stock caliper if 28mm is no go. I spoke to RB a couple times before ordering and they said it was a good match for the smaller rear upgrade.

This is horrible CS, I was thinking of getting some RB 2 piece rotors but now I'll have to reconsider

I don't think PFC actually sells a 2piece rotor that fits the stock calipers, the OP tried buying them originally

Yup. I tried ordering them from the site and got an email back that they don't have them.

^ were you able to find a solution to fit the XP12 pads on for track over the weekend? did you measure the thickness of the XP12 pads you had.

To bring back an old thread, were you able to ever to get factory thickness pads to fit with these 28mm thick rotors? I'm facing the same dilemma now, I actually want the thicker rotor to use with my spoon calipers but want to know if I have to shave the pads down like I do for the urge rears first.
