Lookatmyrust Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 i have bought some rotors for the front of my car but idk what diameter i should of bought.. there are 2 sizes it looks like. 10.240 inchs and 10.420 does it really matter... i got the fat 5's, 15 inch rims if that matters... i notice on my current brakes they is a little edge of rust on the outside so im think they are 10.420s and my new. slightly smaller ones will not have that.. right?

fwa2500 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 11.4" for the WRX brake swap... hint hint ftw http://img804.imageshack.us/img804/6420/brakesm.jpg stock brighton spec to wrx spec: 10.1" front w/ one pot calipers and rear drums to 11.4" front w/ two pot calipers and 10.2" rear with one pot calipers. one of the best things i have done by far.

suntzuo Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 fwa...do the wrx brakes bolt right up?...will they fit inside the stock 16in gt wheels? i keep warping the *%&^&$ out of my front rotors all the time from overheating them...would be great to not have that problem....

Zues Marine Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 ^all you need is the calipers, brackets, pads and rotors.. everything bolts right up, and yes, will fit under 16" wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwa2500 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 the only thing i realy had to do was change the rear hubs since i had drums, but your gt has discs all around so really all you need, as zeus said, are brackets, calipers and rotors. and yes, they clear 16s (mine are off an '05 WRX) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
