Sedan OEM rotor upgrade

I'm wondering if it's OK to swap the factory rotors from my '03.5 to the OEM ones from the '05-'06 sedan. The major difference here is that the '05-'06 rotors are larger and thicker which is exactly what I need. My current rotors are at the min thickness and need to be replaced ASAP, but my brake pads have plenty of life left. So if anyone has experience with the '05-'06 rotor upgrade, please let me know. Thanks

You would have to do a complete brake swap. Rotors, Calipers, pads and lines.

+10. You can upgrade the rotors but you have to use the later year calipers. Which I have a set of dual piston calipers if you're interested. I have the oem lines to go with them also.

Thanks for the prompt answers guys. It looks like I'll have to consider either the entire brake upgrade from a later year model, or same-year aftermarket rotor replacement.

Get aftermarket, some as simple as drilled/slotted rotors, with axis/hawk pads will give you quality braking...
