There are better ways to go.

Those calipers are stock Toyota truck 4x4 calipers, available at any parts 
store.  You can do a google search on this conversion.  It's normally a drop 
in fit onto the GT6/TR6 uprights.

As for rotors, there are far better rotors out there that fit onto the GT6 
hub.  Canley Classics has some for example.
