    yes it is possible just get the right adaptor for the rotor size.

    Yes you can use nearly any rotor with any caliper, however hope floaters don't work with all of them

    Brake rotors are pretty much generic. Get yourself on Superstar and you can order 180mm discs for just over a tenner. The only thing you'll need to worry about is the calliper addapter
