What front brake size do I have?
Hey CF,
I just did front ujoints as well as front hub bearings on my 2000 XJ sport. Upon removal of the front brakes i noticed they were worn enough for me to replace. So I hopped online to order some drilled/slotted rotors to help it halt the 33's. I found that there are two different size rotors. They tell me to measure the height of the rotor on the table. It should be either 78mm (3.071") or 82mm (3.228"). I measured mine and they had a height of 3.125" Am I measuring to the wrong side of the rotor?
Here's what im looking at. they say it will fit my 2000 but i dont want to risk it. Thanks for the help. -Sam

Did you account for the fact that the rotor is worn down?
Why don't you order from a store that has these in stock so you can be sure?
