Hey, I'm about to purchase the parts for the front and rear upgrades.

On the rear rotors, if I just slotted the holes on the mount for the calipers about 5mm, allowing the caliper to sit lower on the disk, would I have any other issues with clearance?

Aka, is there anything else in the way stopping the caliper from dropping 5mm or does it just mount a bit too high?

Thanks man, you the brake king.
