    Front brake rotor replacement part question

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    2005 3.2l and I need to replace my front brakes. I am going to do new rotors, as well as the pads, and have a few questions. I was looking at Akebono pads and can't for the life of me figure out which rotors to get. I can't find any info in the car's manual about rotor size

    Akebono pads are a great choice!! As for rotors, Adams rotors are good (I run those) and others use the ECS gomet rotors and seem to like them.

    What about size on the rotors? Is it based on wheel size? Is there a difference between 321MM and 347MM, other than size?

    Motor size dictates rotor size. The 4.2 and 3.0t use the 347mm front rotors. 3.2 uses the 321mm front rotors. 4.2 and 3.0t run 330mm in the rear and the 3.2 runs 302mm in the rear.
