Wrong brake rotors? 9 3/16 front and 9 1/16 rear. 1.8?
Ok so I bought what I thought where 1. 8 brakes as a kit from the guy I bought the car from.
Was planning on installing with diff sunday.
Well one rear driver side caliper and bracket are gone.
I got a use one from junk yard.
It is too big for the rotor.
The fronts are 9 3/16 diameter
Rear are 9 1/16 diameter
Are these the brig brakes from the 1.8 not the sports but the normal bigger brakes that still fit with 14inch rims.

No, the bigger sport rotors at 11"
actually you migh tjust have stock 1.6L brakes.
Without remember the exact sizes offhand. The 1.6L started with 9" rotors, then went to 10" on the 1.8L and finally 11" on the sports.

Thanks for taking the time to measure.
I guess its setteled they are 1.6 brakes.
Well I called the guy who sold me the part (and the car) and he was really cool about the whole thing.
He said he bought the brakes and was told they where 1.8 but he never checked.
He is going to return my money no prob.
He was so nice I figured if the rear end was a posi it was worth 100 dollars so I said I would test it.
How do i tell if the rear end is posi?
