brake rotors
are the rotors for turbo models the same size as for the natural aspirated models?
Re: brake rotors
Turbo's are larger in front and some rears are vented but the same diameter.

Re: brake rotors
Front Pads and Rotors are different N/A to Turbo, rear pads will fit either N/A or Turbo, turbo uses vented rotors and N/A uses regular straight cut non vented,
I can confirm from past experience, if you put N/A rear rotors on a turbo, the outer pad will shoot though the caliper bracket eventually and you need the wider vented rotors to get the other 40% pad life left lmfao, this being said its the caliper bracket that is different, as per the front pads and rotors they are slightly smaller on the N/A, tho I have used N/A pads with turbo rotors.. Im a mechanic and I like doing things cheap, out junk yard as a N/A, live and learn is what ill call it, I purchased pads all round for under $12 they were like new only to realized what ive spoken of above..
