Anyone know if 02/03 rotors will fit on a 4th gen?

Has anyone tried this with the stock calipers? I hear they are .5 inches bigger and I'm tired of warping. I'm getting some Hawk HPS pads. My current setup is pads and rotors I got from napa and it warped quickly, and I bedded them in.

thanks

are you sure? our 4th gen rotors have to fit under 15" wheels, while the 5.5gens have to fit under 17" wheels. my brother has an 03 and his rotors looked bigger than mine, although i'm not 100% positive on that.

I was told they do fit, but you cant use the stock calibers ....you have to get the 02-03 calibers and drill a hole in the mounting bracket to bolt up.....matt blehm told me this, so he should know

Why switch to a 5th gen rotor, they are known for having warping issues more than any other year. Get some CDS zinc plated rotors, the extra cooling should help alot.

Turned out it was rear rotors that were causing my problems. So, napa rotors are good.
