what rotors would fit on a 73 and up disc brake setup? Can I upsize rotors? (this involves upsizing calipers correct?) If so will any 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern rotors go on?
What are you ultimately trying to accomplish? What is wrong with the rotors you currently have? Are they worn out? You can get new 73-up style rotors from NAPA or rockauto for about 50 bucks each...
cant imagine 3/4 inches more is going to have any effect fro all that trouble of locating the caliper brackets,,,
'73-'75 A body Rotors are the same and readily available at any auto parts store.
The '76 A body uses the 11.75 rotor set up if you can find one.
Also, you can not use 14" wheels on the '76 as they will not clear the Calipers.

As mentioned above, the 73 up A-body rotors are all the same, as well as the rotors on just about any 73-85 Mopar almost all of them had the same 11" rotor, Aspen, Valari, Diplomat, 80's New Yorkers etc. These rotors are also used in the street rod market to get the 4 1/2" bolt circle. (they use the Camaro/Firebird rotor for 4 3/4" bolt cir) The difference on some cars is the bearings so be sure to use the correct bearings and races for your spindles.
The 11 3/4" rotors came on the larger cars like the Magnum, Cordoba, Mirada as well as Taxi cabs and cop cars. You can use them on the A-body spindles if you use the correct caliper brackets but you can't use them with a 14" wheel.
I probably will for a while. lol. I like the idea of 17x8 infront and 18x10 in the rear.you should use a set of the common 17x8 mustang wheel...

Whoever told you that a 1976 A body automobile uses a 11 3/4 inch rotor is blowing a lot of smoke at you.
That statement is totally incorrect, and you are giving out false information to the readers of this posting.
All the 73 to 76 A body cars use the 10 3/4 inch rotor. Nothing else, no exceptions.
None of the A body cars used a "big" rotor.
If you wan't a taller rotor you find them on 1976 up Cordoba, Magnum, St. Regis, Newport, Fury, body style automobiles.
Ok guys.
The reason I said that is I have had 2 1976 Dart Custom Sedans and they both had the 11.75 Rotors and 15 inch rims And BBP 7-1/4 Rear Ends.
I bought both cars from the original owners and both cars were as bought new down to the body color rims.
I do not post information that I have not verified myself in the 30 years I have been working on mopars.
I am also ok with being corrected if I am wrong on something.
So if this info is incorrect all I can say is thats mopar for you.
