Hello all.
Have spent much time with the search facility but cannot find what I am looking for.
I have confirmed that some members here have successfully fitted front 380 rotors and calipers to the front of their 3rd gens.
I am very interested if this can be done to the rear of a 3rd gen.
The 380 rear rotor is a vented unit where as the stock 3rd gen rear rotor is not.
Has anybody fitted (or has knowledge of) a 380 rear rotor and caliper to the rear of a 3rd gen, specifically a KJ?
Any issues? Spacer required? Hoses compatibility? Any other info would be greatly appreciated.

It won't be a direct bolt on - if it'll fit at all.

Much easier option is to get AWD rears which will bolt on, with the addition of a 3.7mm spacer.

The centre hole in the 380 rotor is smaller (69mm for the 380 Vs 90mm for the magna/verada) So the rotor wont fit over the hub (which is what the disc rotor sits against and the wheel bolts to) unless the 380 rotor has its centre hole machined out to suit the magna, this may effect the structrual integrity of the rotor.

Im not sure on the 380 calipers bolting to the magna mounting points.
