Looking for some help

I have a 1969 fj-40 with a fj-40 axle. I did the mini disk swap using all parts from a 1985 toyota mini truck. Finding out now that the rotors and calipers can be upgraded (1982 fj-40 rotors, 1993 IFS v6 calipers for better stopping power. I have a front axle from a 1983 toyota fj-60. Are the rotors off this the same as the rotors from a 1982 fj-40?? Thanks

There is a good write up at ih8mud.com in the tech section on how to swap.
