Brake Rotors

[tachasmo]

Hey guys I'm looking at putting new rotors on my car. I was looking on rockauto when I found these https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/mor...209&cc=1431257. I found a couple websites where they got pretty good reviews so I added them to my cart. Before I ordered them I got to looking and they don't specify whether they're for the front or back. I would assume for the front since they're 12.5" in diameter but just wanted to make sure. If that is true will they work for the back as well or just the front?

12.5in rotors is alot bigger than the stock size rotor.

Do you already have a brake upgrade??

If not, you need to buy rotors that fit your car.


And fronts and can work on the front, rear rotors are a completely different design.

I've got an 05 Comp G.

A 12" rotor from the 2000 ish Monte Carlos and impala as will bolt up fine on the fronts. However your going to have issues getting a 12.5" up there without changing some things out.

Somehow you must have ended up on the wrong rockauto page.
Here is the link for the correct one.
Don't forget to get some pads.

You don't need to spend money on slotted and drilled rotors, unless you like the look, ....they don't do squat.

I do like the way the look but I'll compare them to regular ones as well. I'm not really sure what why it was bringing up those if they didn't fit. I had it sorted by my car, but that doesn't matter now. Thanks for your help.

i have the powerstops for my 04 gtp, they do look way cool and seems to be pretty quiet and overall a def improvement in braking.i also used ceramic pads,i went with monroe believe it or not as they had great reviews overall and you can get killer rebates on them..now,are you gonna do laps at daytona with these rotors and pads?? probably not...but for a lower budget upgrade i dont see any issues with them.. i was told to use so and so larger calipers and this and that performance braking stuff,which is great info but not what i wanted to spend on it... .BUT i will tell you that if your car sits alot,i get a "scaley,rusty" spot on the rotor and will make you think your rotors are F'ed. ive had to sand it off twice now but this thing sits for 2 months at a time sometimes. could just be my conditions where i am too..

I drive it every day so I doubt that will be a problem. Thanks for the heads up though.
