93 tuurbo rotors on 91 turbo?

91mR2sW20 · 08-07-2008, 09:38 PM

I have a 91 turbo and want to upgrade my rototrs. I was wondering if I ordered drilled and slotted rotors for a 93 turbo will i have any clearance issues with the caliper or anything else? because the 93 rotors are a bit bigger. Let me know if anyone has attempted this without swapping anything other than the rotors and break pads of course.

Thanks in advace.

They wont' fit. No way no how. If you want '93 brakes you have to swap over most of the system.

If you're looking for better braking you DON'T get that by getting crossdrilled/slotted. If you want better stopping you get better pads.

you're not listening, search for better braking here on the site. slotted/drilled only improve your "bling", they don't help your brake performance.

Somehow I don't think he's concerned about performance

your right sylvan. its only for looks. and i meant 91 drilled slotted rotors not 92. they look nice with a good set of rims

Dude, you own the wrong car.

If all youre concerned about is looks, get an NA and sell your turbo...

Sorry, just struck a nerve.

well i had a n/a and sold it to get the turbo. for now the mr2 turbo is not my daily driver. its under construction. but who said you cant have a nice lookin turbo mr2. eventually ill throw in a intake down pipe as well as a turbo manifold and possibly berk technology dual catback exhaust oh and bov. my concern is not only looks.

All depends on what you think looks good I guess.

Personally I think having cross drilled/slotted rotors is like having a big huge wing on the back of a fwd civic.

Good luck with your car though
