Pontiac Vibe front rotors the same as Legacy Turbo rear?!

Post by ciper »

Check it out yourself at the bottom of this list

Edit: So the rear rotor for the NA legacy seems to be DBA644. Its specs compared to dba4649
Part type Dia. height Thick bore
DBA644 Solid 266 67.5 10 58
DBA4649 Vented 266 67.5 18 58
DBA649 Vented 266 67.5 18 58

BTW you'll notice I included the DBA649 which is the same part as 6469 but the "street" version which is cheaper

Those also list the 649 as for the vibe

They have an internal drum parking brake in the front on the Vibe?

I found that pads for my 4 piston front calipers share the same part number as a Nissan 300ZX and they are quite a bit cheaper listed as Nissan. Wouldn't surprise me if the rear rotors were the same size.

tleg rear rotor: http://extranet.soleniuminc.com/Centric ... 047013.jpg
vibe front rotor: http://extranet.soleniuminc.com/Centric ... 044114.jpg

different diameter, width, offset, centerbore plus no parking brake drum.

here is the dba spec sheet for a 2-pot rear

same hat, parking brake, etc dimensions aside from the overall diameter.

however, I can't find it in my stoptech price sheet. I'll send them an email next week about it.

Nice. 120.47013 seems to be the best priced turbo rotor.

I was wrong about the rotors. They are not the same and I was caught by the typo which is listed on many application guides.
