ABS DOES NOT MATTER the calipers, pads, and rotors are the same for both w/10.2" brakes.

I understand that now, but in hindsight even with the wrong reasoning I would have given him the correct answer if he had said that in the first place.

without that information we can't tell you

In any case like was said....it does not matter, ABS or not. Mine had the larger rotors...but ABS does not dictate your rotor size as you suggested.
In fact the place I got the parts at told me there was two differant size calipers, so I bought both sizes to be safe as I was not sure. When I asked for the rotors they said they only list the one size. Turned out that it was the smaller rotors and they would not fit the car. So I ended up just re-using the old rotors and new calipers. But at least I know now....that there is indeed two sizes of rotors, and two types of calipers, so you need to know which ones you need. ABS does not even come into play...thats why I asked you in my original post. You said it depends if you have ABS, so I asked for both sizes...with ABS and without ABS? But I know now ABS has nothing to do with rotor size or caliper type as you suggested. You would think the model year and serial number should identify which ones you need.

The EX and Si came with 10.2" rotors and the bigger calipers. On the Del Sol only the VTEC model came with the larger rotors and calipers (this model also came with ABS, which is why trust destruction mentioned it because he thought it mattered).
