so today i went and bought a bunch of stuff for car maintenance. and one of those purchaes was some brake rotors. and the rotors they sold me didnt have the right bolt pattern. i went to an advance auto parts. and then to an auto zone, who had the wrong bolt pattern as well. what other car uses 4 x 114.3 rotors that are not bigger or smaller than the oem rotors i have now? only found people swapping bigger rotors and calipers out. not what i want to do.

most of those stores have all their inventory messed up and parts mixed up with different years even on the comp

dont get me started about autozone, advance auto. they like to give me wrong brake pads all the time. i hate it when they ask what yr and model my car is for a universal part.

me: "im looking for a autometer 52mm boost gauge for my car"
salesman: "what yr is your car?"

silentmunky

yeah, i hate that crap too. i was pretty pissed it was the wrong rotor. since my rotor was seized on pretty tough. i have to bang it out a big which left some marks on the rotor, which i didnt care about, until i realized they were the wrong size....... so, i still dont have replacement rotors, and i just threw my old ones back on. but seriously, anyone know of some other vehicles that uses the same bolt pattern? i can at least check those cars rotors out and try to do a swap.

Why not get the slotted ones from RRM? When I looked they were about the same price

silentmunky

slotted will eat my pads faster. and i really dont want to be seen cruising around in my car with slotted rotors. this ***** has drums on the back! sure it looks cool and helps with braking, but id rather just get steel meshed brake lines for some better feel. after learning all i can, this car is not really something id like to mod anymore. it has become "that car i almost have paid off that gets good mileage/once paid off, driving it till it or i die." so id like to stick to stock. i got the price of 32.99 a rotor. so thats only $66. the slotted rrm's are like $139 or something. over twice as much. **** that.

DUDE! nice price. im glad you sent me that. i was able to give my local parts place the brembo part # to see if they had it in stock/ can order it for me. since in the rotor exchange i was given a gift card as a refund, since i paid with a gift car. so i want to know if you guys know any other cars that sport 4 x 114.3 bolt pattern, with a rotor diameter thats comparable to ours?

err just had to vent....autozone, O'Reilly and adv. auto didn't have the OZ as a model in their computer even after i tell them the model they all lead me to belive they were ordering them....3 diff times i took the car up to change and had the wrong bolt pattern each time. plus i had the same prob of having to beat one of the oem's off so it waz all chewed up and not usable. finally i ordered some for an non ES model and fit....errr!
