Brake question

[Justin]

I just got my drilled/slotted brakes (VERY good looking).

I noticed that two of them are LOT larger than the others... is that right? are our fronts or rears larger than the other?


if so, which is larger (of course i'll find out when i go out and look but its dark out and i'm inside )

the back ones are thicker to accomidate the parking brake....or at least that should be the way it works.

here's what i'm talking about....



the side you can't see is flush.

ah never noticed that...whenever I changed mine out I always used the depth as a guide to which one is which and never really paid attention to the diameter. If I had to guess I'd say the front ones would be larger in diameter, but don't hold me to that.

i thought the fronts were supposed to be larger.. but wait for someone else to chime in..

the fronts are larger.

front rotor diameter = 300mm (11.811" or ruffly 11 7/8")
rear rotor diameter = 291mm (11.456" or ruffly 11 1/2")

That should help

Fronts are bigger diameter as Chris pointed out and also thicker.

Also, just to add to it, once you went to install them, you would find that neither will fit in the wrong spot. Here is the basic dimensions of the front and rear rotors.
