What light weight calibers work with factory rotors? Does anybody make an aftermarket light weight aluminum caliber that works with our factory rotors? I want to keep my emergency brake.

Are you talking about the rear then right? I think Baer makes a kit (track pack) but, Iwouldn't do it just buy rotors and better pads. On a LS1 the rear brakes only do like 18% of th braking or something like that! and it you grind th center tab of the stock calibers you can run a 15" rim!
I went with willwood 6piston sloted and drilled front and a Baer sloted and drilled rotor rear. So I can run a slick tire.

I would like a smaller caliber to help clear my 15" Prostars and save a little weight at the same time. Buying new rotors is more costly and not much weight savings assuming it has emergency brake.
