are all 5 lug rear rotors the same? im looking to buy for a custom application but i need to know if any 5 lug rear rotor will fit any 5 lug second gen. thanks

 

Ya, it will.

 

there are solid and vented rotors.. be sure to get the right ones!

 

That was not the question, he asked about the rotor. Not the design of the rotor.

 

well which do i need to get, solid or vented? im using 5 lug rear calipers, im not sure if theyre off a T2 or GXL. do i need to find out? i think they came off of a 90.

 

See now the guy is confused. Any 5 lug rear rotor or 5 lug rear caliper off of a fc3s will work with any 5 lug fc3s model.

 

^^ thanks. do i need to get vented or solid? im sure vented perform better. so i can get either or and not have fitment issues?

heres so i see it. i can use ANY 5 lug rear caliper/rotor?pad on ANY 5 lug 2nd gen set up without issues? correct? its just my decision if i want vented or solid? thanks

 

YES, don't make this more complicated then it is......lol

 

they are SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT!

he doesnt mean vented like cross drilled and vented or slotted. he means that the rotor is not a solid disc, it is vented in the middle, like the stock front rotors. the vented ones are THICKER. ill try to find a picture.

 

EDIT: totally wrong pciture hahahaha sorry

 

^^nice moped

NOPR-- i know the difference between vented and not. i want vented. i just need to know if theyll be a fitment issue with them. i have vented T2 rotors on the front already. im 90% sure the rear rotors came off of a 90 GXL.

 

yeah thats my new ride. ANYWAYS, do you not have the old rotors? im pretty sure you need calipers that came with vented rotors, but im not 100% since the rear brakes are self adjusting.

 

no. i ordered the calipers from someone off of a parts car. these are going on a 1st gen.

 

If you have 4 piston calipers up front, you have vented rotors in the back, otherwise you have solid rotors.

End of debate.

 

ok the calipers are different between vented and solid rotors u need ot get the correct rotor for that caliper...

part numbers ARE DIFFERENT


so there is no confusion..
vented rotor


solid rotor


the calipers are different if u have a caliper for a car that had solid rotors it WILL NOT fit over a vented disc

ask the guy u bought them from and he should know..

 

they came off of a 90 GXL im pretty sure. i just ran part number for the 90 GXL and 90 T2 on rockauto. they show the same part numbers for calipers and some rotors. they do offer a vented for the the T2 and not the GXL though. although some of the rotors are the same. with the calipers being the same part number i think i could run either rotor. i just need verification before i make a purchase.

 

The rears are the vented kind. If the front calipers are 4 piston, the rears are vented.



What does it say under brakes.

I am repeating what i posted first.

 

^^thanks that confirms the GXL had the vented.
