I have Hayes 9's with 8" rotors but i want to run 6" rotors on the bike they are getting swapped too. What do I need to do this? Can I just run the 6" rotors?

In addition to the 6" rotors, the correct 6" adapters front and rear (assuming they are the correct rotors for the brake/wheels).

On the rear you would just need the correct adapters to run a 6" rotor. You will have to check your fork, because if it's a post mount, then you might not be able to run a 6". I know on my Totem it is designed to run an 8" rotor without an adapter at all.
