NB8A/NB8B Brake disc sizes

Hi all,

I recently recieved 1 front set and 1 rear set of slotted rotors that were meant to suit my NB8B.

I found out however they are the wrong ones the ad said 98-05. It didn't click in my head at the time the brake system was different 01-02.

The e-mails I have recieved claim the 2002+ have the same size rotors as makes before 2001. They claim mine is a sport model.

Zuh?

In America they ran sport model alongside the regular model. Sport had bigger brakes. At some point sports brakes became standard but don't know NB stuff well enough to say when.

Thats what I figured, this website supplys to the Australian market. I should have a case but they're silly little graph says otherwise. :roll:

Is it an Australian company / distributor?? If so it should still be there problem as we never got a sport pack.

NA8 and NB8A are 250mm fronts, 255mm rears. NB8B are 270 fronts, 275 rears.

US cars from 01 on continued to get the NB8A brakes unless they had the 'sports suspension' package in which case they also got the larger brakes. US cars from 03-05 had the larger brakes standard.
