The rear rotors and calipers are a 100% bolt-on and go. Even the retainer screw that holds the rotor on lines up.

On the front rotors, the retainer screw didn't line up, so I had to use a lug bolt to keep the rotors in place until the caliper was installed. As for the caliper, I had to space it out 2.5mm (1 washer) to accommodate the extra 5mm in rotor diameter. I installed 1 washer per bolt between the removable mounting ear and the caliper itself.

Good luck.
Thank you, this info is golden. Time to start hunting! Once again your setup is killer, looks really sharp.
