[rookie_2]

Try making a thread title that actually states your problem, and you'll get more help. In fact, threads with titles like this will soon be deleted as they are found.


The caliper will say what brand it is. Nissin says Nissin. Akebono shows a triangular design. The rotor size is for sedan/coupe and wagon. Unless you get the bracket for the wagon brakes, which are larger, you can't use those rotors.

thanks a lot for your help am kinda new here. will the brand of the rotor decide if its either the bigger rotor or the smaller? i think is 10mm or 12mm

Also you're in for a surprise, if you don't know already, our cars come with the hub over rotor design. They have to be pressed off and on. Major pain in the ass. I've been told you should replace the wheel bearings at the same time. If you're going that far I would recommend doing the ROH swap if you plan on keeping the car for awhile.

no, you do not need to replace the wheel bearings when you do the brakes and also the bearings are pressed in, not the rotors. later.

[deevergote]

The bearings are just a good thing to replace, because you're already halfway there when you remove the knuckles to do the rotors (unless you find a way to do them on the car... it CAN be done, but it's more difficult.)

i can't really agree with that because the bearings are sealed and are supposed to last the life of the car, though they don't always due to certain factors.

it does make sense though to do it when it's all apart, it just also might be a waste of money. later.

thank you guys for all the great help. one more question. what do u guys think about the drilled/slotted rotors is it a good idea or what do you guys think? and yes the car is a keeper.

[deevergote]

They can crack. However, I've had Brembo blanks that were drilled and slotted by an aftermarket company since 2004, and never had any issues.

Unless you're doing some serious track driving, or repeated braking from high speeds, there's no need for anything but stock rotors.
