Thanks ... But my 530 brakes won't fit a 45, right? Aren't the 545 rotors bigger in diameter than my 530?

If u want to use 545 brakes, then u need the discs as well as the calipers... Its pretty much plug n play but maybe worth while upgrading to s/s brake lines too...

I only have rear rotors and pads from a 545, do I also have to change the calipers?

yes rotor is larger so you must have a caliper farther away from the centerline

Not only pads and rotors, but also calipers and carriers. (#1 and #2)

Ricky +1,

The carrier and piston need to be purchased for a 545 rotor to fit Check your stock rear part number and see if calipers match up
