BC Disc Brake Rotor Size

Hi guys, bit of a dilemma.
I own a 1998 FD and because american websites only seem to think the cars existed from 93-95 (yes i know why lol) I foolishly ordered a kit with 11.6" diameter rotors. I got the package, go to test fit, and look at that, the brake pad is hanging halfway off my rotor...apparently the 98 fd rotor size is 12.25" and the 99+ is 13" if i'm correct?
Anyway, anyone know where i can find a disc brake rotor this size? or am I just gonna have to call all the big brake companies like stoptech ebc etc. the 13" is too big for my rear caliper.

If anyone has any answers that would be appreciated, or if I have to i'll order off colemanracing ? If I have to could someone direct me to what I'd need?

Thanks!

You can import the correct size rotors from Japan. Try rhdjapan.com
Also there are forum members here that can import parts from Japan too, but I can't recall their names now.

Actually, I don't think 99' rotors are 13". They are 314mm which is 12.36"
And you can message them about your car and year and they, I guess, should be able to point you to the correct replacement rotors.
