How do I know what size my rotors are?
How to check your rotor size:
- Start by checking the vendor’s catalog fitment notes.
- Call your local OEM dealer and ask for the original rotor sizes or OEM rotor/pads part numbers based on your vehicle’s VIN number (VIN# is referenced in your ownership papers).
What size rotors does a 2004 Toyota 4Runner have?
I believe the Sport has 13.3″ rotors, all others 4th-gen 4Runners have 12.6″ rotors.
Does it matter what size rotors you buy?
A smaller rotor up front offers better modulation The larger rotors not only provide more power but they also put less strain on your forearms and shoulders since you don’t need to pull the brakes as hard, keeping you fresher for longer and allowing you to ride more actively.
Do all rotors fit any car?
Brake rotors are not fully universal and interchangeable, but they can be considered slightly more versatile than the brake pads that were discussed previously. They can generally be used with any car, as long as the size of the mount is correct.
Is 160mm rotor enough?
They do a better job of displacing heat generated from braking, and can provide better modulation. In general, a 180mm front and 160mm rear rotor will provide you with ample braking power for a 29er hardtail. But there are several other factors to consider as well.
Are rear brake rotors smaller than front?
The rears are almost always smaller because they almost always do less work than the front brakes. Brake disks are sized according to heat energy that they are designed to create ands dissipate. When a car brake hard the load on the front tires increases significantly.
Do I need bigger calipers for bigger rotors?
A bigger rotor has more surface area for the pad to rub against. Using the original pad would be wasting some of the rotor surface. And, bigger pads need bigger calipers. Bigger pads and calipers provide the other two thirds of the increase in braking performance.
Can I change my rotor size?
Only the Adapter changes. You must check your fork manufacturer for the maximum size of rotor the fork can be safely operated with. Also check frame clearances (at the rear) for enough clearance for the size of rotor you are selecting. Going up rotor sizes is specifically for more braking power.
