You can even use a floating rotor if you want.

I attached a pic of the left side of my front wheel - that's a 2000-up rotor.
is that the custom chrome (i think) adapter for the 2000 and up caliper. That is what i want to do. Did you notice a big difference in braking? Any vibration in the front when braking at all?
