11 3/4" front discs?

Stock discs are 10.5" my car is a G92 car, NOT a 1LE car

Just ordered some slotted rotors, putting them on the car and =| they dont fit, go measure the disc off the car and its 11 3/4" around...What do i have on my car, did someone change my brakes to 1LE brakes?

Is your car a B4C or police package car? They got them too. Maybe someone installed them for you, I can't tell you. Factory or not, you have them.

Re: 11 3/4" front discs?

this is all starting to come together a little, a while ago when changing a u joint i realized i have an aluminum driveshaft, my brakes are 1le and i have a 36mm front sway bar which i dont think is stock, one of the previous owners must have found a totaled 1le car or something to the liking and stripped everything of value off it.

What i really need to know now is if i need to get different sized wheel bearings then stock? and what parts it is that i need for that swap
