ARe you talking about rotors for the vented rotor/IFS caliper swap ?

If so, 81-83 LC rotors from nearest parts store.
Middle of the road decent ones are around $50 ea, cheap Chinese around $30, real good $70

Yes, that is why you get the FJ rotors. The IFS rotors will not work. There is a way you can make them work, but I do not like the way it is setup. The guys that have done say it works fine, but it looks like booty fab to me and a bit on the un-safe side. That is my opinion and Marlin shares the feeling with me.

The LC rotor and IFS caliper is a bolt-on swap onto a solid axle.
The vented rotor and V6 IFS caliper is a big improvement over stock solid axle brakes.
