I broke off my bleeder valve on my left rear caliper, coundnt get it to take, so I said the hell with it. I bought a used left rear caliper from a guy on ecmllink and well this caliper is weird. It looks almost just a like but mine, but when I went to swap in my pads I noticed the ones that came in the one I bought looks to be a way bigger pad. So placed just his old pad on my rotor to see how fitment was and the pad hangs way oover top of my rotor.

So my question is are the 2 types of AWD rear brake rotors, If so I have never heard of this so please fill me in. :ohdamn:

There were two and one was definitely larger. The early 2g setups (95 model year cars made early on) were larger, with slightly bigger calipers and around 11" rotors that were thicker and vented (as opposed to the thin solid ones of later years). Someone will be sure to jump in with the exact specs. I'd tell you but I threw mine away a few weeks ago as I couldn't find a buyer for them for years.

So you have the calipers probably for the other rotors.

If you want to order them hopefully someone will have the specific part number for the rotors you need. I do recall that the larger setup is identical to parts from some year of 3000gt, so if you can identify which model/year then that may help in ordering parts say from a...

Wish I had all the answers but I've had Evo rear brembos for so long I've forgotten all the specifics on these 95 rear brakes.

Your pad sits above your rotor? Does the caliper bolt on still?
