Default break rotor and pads

Ok it is just a question if any one knows i dont want to get some thing that wont fit. I am going to get new rotors as well as pads all the way around. My question is what are the size of the rotors because i seen the drilled rotors and the regular type as well i am not sure what the size of my rotors. i dont whant to guestemate the size of them. the reson why i am going to replace them is i am getting a vibration from them granted they are the stock type i had on my monty threw two sets so far the rotors were fine till i felt a vibration now when i stop. I just want to knock them out at the same time when i do my pads. I just want to make sure i get the corect size

Go to RockAuto.com and get part numbers. Then buy where you want.

Try Brakemotive from ebay. I have a set on for a liitle over a year and they work great. They are cross/slotted and still bite hard and really good in the rain.

They are CLOSE to 12" rotors, which is why I am hesitant at answering your question.

I believe they are technically 11.8 inches?

I figure by you looking at a part site with just part numbers you run less of a risk buying something that won't fit, than if you buy rotors that are 12".

Go here and get the RPO code for the brake system that was installed on your vehicle:

Comprehensive Chevrolet, Saturn, GMC, Hummer, Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Geo, Dodge, Plymouth, Jeep, Chrysler, Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda Truck, Mercedes VIN Decoder

Then call a dealership and they should be able to tell you what size rotor was used with that particular RPO code.
