What size rotors do I have on my RX8 GT

I just got an 04 GT. I don't have the window sticker to see what it came with but what I can tell you is that it's fully loaded. It's got the wing, 18 inch rims, two tone leather, navi, heated seats and the rotor accent pieces on it. I'm going to assume it's a GT. Is there a way that I can find out from the trim tag on the door jam?

I need to know what size brakes are on this car, it looks like there are two different sizes and I don't want to order the wrong rotors and pads.

Thanks

It's a GT. You have the sport brake package.

thanks...

it looks like the rear rotors are the same size as the base model and only the front is different.

Does that sound right?

I try....

I believe the bigger front rotor is 12.7 inches so the real question is "do I have that rotor?"

I'm going to assume that it looks as if my 8 is fully loaded and that should be the GT and that should include the larger front rotor.

Is there a way to tell from the trim tag if I have a GT?

If you have 18" wheels you have the bigger rotors. The only model that had the non sport suspension was the base AT model in 2004... and it had 16" wheels.

I'm pretty sure the sports suspension front rotors are 322mm and the non sports are like 302 or some such... it's been a while since i went through the exercise you're currently enduring.
