Ok so I want bigger Rotors, now what

I want bigger rotors, but I don't want to have to modify anything else, i.e. new calipers. I would prolly be willing to buy a new bracket, but I'm trying to do this w/o any modification to my braking system outside of the actual rotor itself. Now Meta I believe went with a complete 6th gen setup. Can I just use the rotor from the 6th gen set up or an aftermarket 6th gen rotor with my stock calipers or is there another rotor available that I can do this with?
As always thanks for the help.

Just so know, you will probably have to get bigger wheels unless you already have at least 17's (not sure if stockers will clear the spokes).

Yeah I have 19's right now so that shouldn't be an issue.

If you have lots of clearance behind the spokes of your wheels, you have lots of options.

-There's a Wilwood 2-pc rotor + caliper kit available from I think precisionbrakes.com
-There's of course the $$$$ Brembo GT BBK
-Using the website n3985 referenced above you can use the 6th gen 12.6" rotor with 4 piston z32 300zx calipers
-Using the same website you can get a bracket so you can use the 6th gen 12.6" rotor with your stock calipers
-Or, if you have the clearance, you can do what I did and buy the 6th gen 12.6" rotors and the 6th gen calipers and mount those right up.
