Default Need help for is-f front calipers upgrade on isX50

Hi Guys
I thinking about upgrade my front calipers . I would like to ask you a question about is-f front calipers upgrade on is250/350 with out is-f hubs bearing .
Hope someone can answer my question .
Can I just buy 2 front is-f calipers and then buy another after market BBK rotors for is250 ( will same size with is-f )
Will this setup work with out is-f front hubs bearing upgrade ( i understand is-f rotors needed upgrade with is-f front hubs bearing onis250/350 )
Hope you guys can help me

I ve done this 2 years ago.I bought the ISF calipers front and rears and i made in a workshop slotted rotors so that i dont have to use ISF hubs.It costs a little bit more but you dont have to buy the ISF hubs so....

^Can you go into detail about how the rotors were "made" to fit 2IS hub and work with the IS-F caliper?

I just bought the rotors(mine are from a BMW ,same diametre as ISF ).You can buy the rotors from another car(as long they have the same width and everything,much cheaper) and then have a work shop cut the midle ,make aluminium plates and adjust them (by puting the ISF calipers on your car and measure )on your hubs.It is very easy if you have a good work shop do this for you and you can have the rotors done as you want them(i wanted them sloted).I m sorry for my english i hope i helped.You can ask me anything else if i can help

I'd just pick up the hubs... So you know it works and won't have problems later on.
