Re: disc brake size

don't waste your time with junk yard rotors , go have yours turned for $15 or less and if they are worn down under min spec get new ones there under $40 ea

Just an FYI: With the exception of the 1LE front package (11.7" rotors and dual-piston alum PBR calipers), which is rare, all front rotors are 10.5" with single-piston iron Delco-Moraine calipers.

Re: disc brake size

if you buy new rotors save the old ones for a future big brake swap.
