Default Rotor Size

Hey all,

Have a 2000 Civic 1.6L EX 4 door. Can anyone tell me what size rotors my car would have? Someone told me there is two size. Do I have the bigger or the smaller size?

Thanks.

then it should be the 9.something" size rotor, as opposed to the 10.something" size

lol, sorry for the ".something," I can't remember the exact size off the top of my head but I do know it's the ~9" ones you need

WRONG!
The EX AND SI have the larger rotors 10.2" all other Civic models have the smaller rotors.

No problem, if they go to AZone, Advance, O'Reilly, NAPA, Carquest, etc. as long as they tell them it's for an EX they will be given the correct ones (10.2"). On the Del Sol the VTEC model has the larger rotors, and the S and Si had the smaller ones. ABS makes no difference because the sensor ring is on the outer CV joint.
