custom disc brakes

im thinking about changing to rear disc and upgrading the front im going with power stop sloted rotors. the width on them is 28.5 mm witch is around 1.123 inchs. the only calipers i could find are for 1.00 and 1.25 width rotors would the brakes still work properly with the 1.25 width rotors because im worried about it not expanding enough and not having any brakes

im going with the wilwood calipers 1.25 width rotor size and power slot rotors for f150 i called wilwood today they said insert a spacer behind the pad. it should be just a bit wider than 1/9 of an inch or 0.11 inchs
summitracing.com has the calipers
jegs.com has the discs in the disc brake kits section

Read Wilwood's FAQ - they don't recommend crossdrilled or slotted rotors. They're weaker and give LESS braking performance.
