Brake Rotor Sizes

Post by Daniel2019 »

My dad suggested going to his guy for brakes, and he said that theres 14 or 15 inch sizes for brake rotors on the GPX. Does anyone know what the factory standard size for a 1995 GPX is? I cant seem to find it.. Will they both fit? Im looking at a set of slotted aftermarket rotors similar to the one my dad has. Set of RDAs for around 600 installed on the spot or something.

Firstly, a loud & proud n00bing for your sh*tty attempt at searching :troll:

Secondly, tell your dad to talk in metric, it's the year 2012 last I checked :lol:

Thirdly:
GPX - 276mm rotor (2 pot caliper)
GR - 256mm rotor (1 pot caliper)

NOT interchangeable

Nah, its mainly because in Australia, the most commonly imported FTO is the GPX. Most Australian companies that list FTO parts usually only list for GPX. They wouldn't know what the f*ck a GR was, let alone a GX or a GS...

Is this for fronts only or fronts and rears. $600 for RDA fronts only installed is a bit rich me thinks...

Set of 4 haha. He installed them in about an hour while my dad waited, apparently.

EDIT: Including pads.
