kill1308 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hi all, I'm looking to replace my rear pads, a friend of mine is able to source some pads for me, but wants to know today what the rear-disc diameter is. I'd go out and measure them but the car is at home and I'm at work. Are UK/J-Spec rear discs a different size? I know the UK spec front discs are different but wasn't sure on the rear. I did a search but couldn't find a conclusive answer to my question... He's asking me if they are 307mm or 324mm Does anyone know? Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kill1308 Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Cheers for the reply Bluecoup.... as I can't check the car though as I'm at work and I need to get the pads ordered before 4:30 to get them for tomorrow. Anyone else happen to know the J-Spec rear disc size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Careful bud. If you have a facelift RZ TT they come with the "UK" brakes as standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for pointing that out! Mine is a 96 Facelift TT, now that's stumped me even further as to what size to get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 You have a facelift RZ hence the recaros etc....Big brakes, pic from your profile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kill1308 Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Yeah I'd ordered the pads as per UK spec fronts, it was the rears I wasn't sure of. So if it's an RZ, I get the same front brakes as the UK, then are the rears still 307mm as Garethr kindly pointed out? Thanks for all your help peeps, sorry to be a pain!

garethr Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 He's asking me if they are 307mm or 324mm. The "UK" rears are the 324mm discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kill1308 Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 The "UK" rears are the 324mm discs. Once again, thanks very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 If you have an RZ you have the big brakes all round. People call them "UK" spec but they were always an option. You will need the larger discs on the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
