FD Calipers dwarf FC rotors

In that pic its 4 lug... but even the 5 lugs are still 10.8" rotors. I'm simply stating that it seems like 5 lug FC guys could swap out to the FD caliper and rotor fairly easily (some modification of the brake line would be needed) and that would let them run an 11.6" rotor easily w/out needing to buy a big expensive BBK....

No? - maybe that extra space for the rotor comes from the hub, but I dont have an extra FD hub to compare to.
