Re: rotor thickness???

They are talking about the actual thickness of the brake rotor. You can take a tape measure and turn your front wheels, so that you can get behind the rim and measure the rotor to see if it is 1" or 1 1/2" total thickness.

There are only 2 thicknesses, 1" and 1 1/4". More than likely you have the 1" rotors, but measure to be safe.

Re: rotor thickness???

The spindles are also different depending on what size you have.
