First post so let's see how it goes,
I just installed some new rear rotors that I got a smokin deal on, and i've just found another sweet deal on a pair of front rotors.
Only thing is they're marketed as 2004 rotors and I was wondering if they're any different than 2005's?
Another question does anyone know if 2005 front rotors on a rwd are any different than awd rotors?
Looking forward to a reply
Thanks in advance

 

2003-2004 there were two options, Brembo brake package or the standard brake package.

2005+ they removed the Brembo option and upgraded the standard brake package with better calipers and rotors.

2008+ they added Akebono brakes as a performance option over the standard 2005+ brakes.

None of these 4 options are interchangeable. You must replace the rotor+caliper and any associating hardware including things like the brake lines for the Brembos.

You can upgrade from the 2003-2004 standard to the 2005+ standard with just rotors, calipers, brackets.

RWD or AWD didn't matter at all, some options were only available on the RWD but they can be swapped to the AWD.
