FD rotors compatible?

I need some front rotors and someone offered up some FD rotors. They're not directly compatible with the FC 4-pots, are they? I seem to remember some width issues.

Thanks for being a douchebag. It's a simple yes or no question. If you know of a particular thread that goes into depth on the thickness of the FC rotors vs the FD rotors, feel free to link that. Otherwise, just click here.

Better then being a newb that doesn't search. I am not sure how that link turned up the way it did, but hopefully here is a better search link for you.

Or since you can't find anything for yourself and need people to force feed you information that has been asked by numerous other people, here you go:

Even in the new search link you've posted you have to look in EVERY thread to get the information...searching FD rotors brings up more results about engine internals than brakes. Great part of having a car that has two kinds of rotors.

Also, of all that, you found ONE post that concerns the thickness, which was my concern. I'm sorry that I missed it.

This is not as discussed as you feel it is. However, if I could edit my post above I would as it was not very mature of me. I do apologize, and I do thank you for pointing out the thread that contained actual dimensions of both rotors.

Here comes the WAAAAAAmbulance???

It took me three minutes to find what you were looking for, I fail to see why you couldn't do the exact same thing.
