Default Rotors

When did the SC's start having larger rotors what year. I have a 92 and got some practically new rotors from a friend that were on his 2000. They were bigger and my caliper couldn't fit. I was just wondering what year they changed them.

The SC4 always had larger rotors and calipers than the SC3 until 1997. I think the SCs got the same setup after the '97 facelift. I believe the SC4 setup has not changed since inception. Not 100%, but think that's right...

How do they not fit? ie. thickness. diameter, bolt pattern ?

Nobody has answered my question. How Are They Not Fitting? If its the diameter you can have them turned down at any good machine shop. If they try to charge you for more than one hour shop time, they are trying to rip you off.

Is it because of the dust covers that they dont fit? If the rotors are anything bigger than the original stock the dust cover probably needs modification or removal. Or getting the proper ncover for your rotor.
