you can use your type I bracket but won't be able to use the type II rotor.

is there much difference in rotor size bcause when i but rotors online they didnt ask me if i had a type 1 or type 2

Bigboy · 02-22-2010, 12:09 AM

the type II rotor is thicker.

i would get the bracket and a rotor. that way you can take advantage of typeII rotors, they work better then type1 rotors, unless ur's are new, then i'd use em until they warp and then upgrade to the typeII calipers.

btw, i know we can carry typeII rotors for about $200 for a whole set, and there is a $50 core charge per caliper.

it's either type 1 brackets and rotors or type 2 brackets and rotors.

when you buy online i bet it asks coupe or sedan if you enter a year 93 and up. also if you put it as a GS it will list the type 2 rotors. that's if the parts catalog to site you're using is any good

can you use a type 1 rother with a type 2 caliper and bracket

Alperovich · 02-22-2010, 12:16 AM

i wouldn't do it, the center line is gonna be off, they might even rub the bracket but i doubt it.
