I did the gen 2 caliper swap, never had an issue with using gen 1 rotors.


Just remember this is a documented safety issue. The Gen 1 V6 rotors start out 2mm thinner (22mm) than the RS/LS Gen 2 (24mm - minimum wear spec 22.4mm) so there is less material to wear, and they start out at under minimum spec. Once the pads and rotor get too thin, the pad can dislodge from the caliper and lock up the wheel. For sure this is not a recommended practice.

Probably won't happen new and might not happen until some period of use.
