Default Issue with 2000 sc400 rear rotor on a 1997 sc300! Help needed

Have anyone put 2000 sc400 rear rotors on a1997 sc300? How did it work out? I resently bought 2000 sc400 rear rotor for my 1997 sc300 from 88rotor.com. I cut the dusk shield put on the rotor but my bracket will not bolt up cuz the rotor is a lil bigger. I'm not sure if 88rotor sent me the wrong part or not. Or if I purchase a 2000 sc400 bracket will that solve the problem. I have either of those 2 option. It is either they sent the wrong rotor or if I put a 99-00 sc300 or sc400 rear bracket will it work! Please let me know ASAP.

From what I remember. I think sc400 calipers are bigger then 300. You need to run the 400 calipers also.

Solved the issue. I just had to change the brackets to 99-00 sc300 or sc400 rear brackets.

I hope you changed both sides on the rear cause the rotors are different sizes, so if you only did one side then one side is stopping with more power than the other, larger rotor = more torque applied via brakes.
