    I noticed something kind of strange in brake rotor size that someone maybe could verify.

    Front diam. 300mm

    Rear diam. 310mm

    Seems odd to have the rears bigger than the front......any explanation for this??? Is this just to accomodate rear parking brake shoes?

    TIA

    Interesting observation ............. I believe they are same caliper (front/rear) ...... I guess the rear calipers are located 5mm outward from the center of the rotor to acomodate this diameter difference as well?

    Fairly normal practice from a number of manufacturers. Lots of cars I have owned have larger rear rotors. NFI why....:D
