Need help identifying my rotors/calipers
Hi everyone,
A while back I tried replacing my rotors, but the ones I got for it didn't fit.
I do have the part number on the caliper which is 17CL15VN
Is this the OEM caliper that came with it? Does anyone know which are the original? I think the previous owner must have switched out the rotors/calipers for an aftermarket brand...
thanks

also, from a very simple google search tells me that the bracket used on your car will determine which rotor you will need.

The 23T bracket will be problematic with the rotors you want to use, though. The "23" in 23T indicates that it should be used on a 23mm rotor. For a 25mm thick rotor you'll need a 25T bracket. I've posted in a few threads extensive lists of where the parts can be sourced.

Ah, thank you so much. I don't know why they were switched out, however, I'll try replacing the rotors with rotors that match the current setup.

Yeah last time I tried replacing them with OEM, the rotors were too thick. So I'm guessing it's 23mm. Now I just need to find them...

Why did they swap out the brackets? The legend calipers (2 piston) fit the CL/TL brackets and no rotor change is necessary (meaning you can use the TL/CL rotors with it.
