PRA Codes will tell you what kind of brakes your car has.
1LN = 420x40
1LU, 1LW = 400x38
1LL, 1LF, 1ZK, FM0 = 356x34
1LJ = 345 x 30
2EA,2EE = 330 x 30
LA = 320 x 30
Anyone try the EBC RK series rotors? I was going to order the zimmermann rotors but EBC is another option as well.
EBC:
Front: RK1845
Rear: RK1846
Zimmermann:
Front: 100.3357.20
Rear: 100.3358.20
1LN = 420x40
1LU, 1LW = 400x38
1LL, 1LF, 1ZK, FM0 = 356x34
1LJ = 345 x 30
2EA,2EE = 330 x 30

Great write up, just did mine and to get the rotors off without any force heat them up with a heatgun and they will almost fall off. You can hear them come loose once the heat builds up.

The EBC and the oem rotors did not have the edge beveled so it created a really big border on the rotors and i had to pry the pads to clear the rotors while removing.

Great write up on pad replacement. I have one tip...... Use a hose clamp to lock off brake fluid from returning to the master cylinder via the ABS system with any contamination found in the slave cylinder when retracting the cylinder pistons. Can save lots of heart ache if your brake fluid has not been regularly changed or your master cylinder has piston seal that is getting tired.
