Does the IX have bigger rotors then the VIII?

I searched everywhere but couldnt find the info. I did find out the the Evo VIII has 12.5 disks in front and 11.8 in the rear. I was wondering what size the Evo IX's are because they look a little bigger. The Sti has 12.7 in the front and I think 12.2 in the rear. Thanks

The things changed are:

Bigger turbo and mivec= 10 Hp, 3Ibs Tq. increase
The EVO IX's ECU allows it to pump 20.1 psi of boost at 3500 rpm and 16 psi at redline.
Higher first and lower third, fourth and fifth gears in the five-speed transmission.
Updated EVO-specific Enkei wheels replace the current base EVO's forged Enkeis. The new split five-spoke design is slightly lighter for a total weight savings of 1.3 pounds.
A new nose with nostril intakes on either side of the main grille opening.
New aluminum pedals, black spokes on the MOMO steering wheel, carbon-look instrument panel surrounds and the same Recaro buckets, now covered in Alcantara with leather bolsters

i believe thats not true with USDM models. suspension on USDM models should be the same as the 8s. JDM models rear was lowered to better suit the AYC
