Yes, they can but it was a royal PITA. I had to grind off the old (rivetted) buttons and then buy and fit PFM buttons, wave washers and circlips to mount the PFM rotors on the Falco carriers. You'd need to do something similar if you wanted to swap OE rotors over, as well.

The clearances were really tight and the buttons/circlips/washers needed a large amount of swearing to make them fit. I didn't fit a couple of them properly and they pinged off somewhere in the middle of Wales. You do need to make sure the circlips seat really well into the groove, all the way round. I added a dob of silicone as insurance.

So you'd need to contact PFM for a button/washer/circlip set, in addition to the price of rotors. Plus get the angle grinder out. And change pads to suit the DI discs.

It was a faff, but I think it was worth it.
