Default Front rotors - 12" ???

Hello folks thanks as always for your help, in advance!

I'm wondering if there is a stock replacement rotor that will interchange with the front. All dimensions the same except diameter. I am looking for a TRUE 12" rotor to swap in place of the 11.75" unit.

Long story, but my caliper and pad ride about 0.120" further out from center, so a 12" rotor would be perfect.

I don't know of a stock replacement rotor but www.colemanracing.com has 12" rotors and they can match a hat to work with it. They will be a bit more than a stock rotor but that is the only option I know of.

Wilwood engineering...but for what hats, rotors and bolt kits cost you might consider fixing the problem.
