you could probably get the rotors machined down around the edges instead of sanding/grinding the brakets so you don’t weaking them. you would have to call a shop and find out if that is doable i have never done this or know anyone that has, but i couldn’t see why not. just a suggestion.

as far as I can tell you’ve got S14 rotors which are approx 1/16’’ bigger or something…

s13 = 254mm where as the s14 is 257mm i believe and I think something like 1.5mm-2.5mm = 1/16’’ ?

Im sure someone else will be able to correct me or clarify
