Do you need to change the rotor size of your brake caliper?
Many calipers with 6 or more pistons have bore sizes that increase in size from front to rear, to keep the brake pad flat against the rotor and prevent pad taper. One of the easiest upgrades you can make to your brake system is replacing the stock rubber brake hoses with stainless steel.
Where are the brake rotors on a car?
On vehicles with disc brakes on all four corners, each wheel has a caliper and rotor behind it. The brake rotors are mounted on each wheel hub, so they spin with the wheels. When you want to slow down your vehicle, you press on the brake pedal which causes the brake calipers and its brake pads to produce friction along with the rotors.

Is there a mismatch between strut and rotor caliper?
The Mismatch is obviously the 912E/923 Strut/spindle and rotor/caliper. The spacing issue wont be resoved by adding a spacer between the caliper and strut, it is the opposite, it is close on the outside, so I need a wider opening or remove material possibly grinding the tang off the outside center of the caliper.
