Hey guys, i was looking at rotors and such for my front and rear discage, but bat-inc says we got 278mm rotors already in the front... whats the deal with that? viz and i were pretty sure we only had 260mm... any comments?

If you have a 4-banger, then you should have 260mm fronts and rear drums (no discs). The 278mm fronts and 263mm rears are sport package equipment only. Sport package was only available on the V6 from what I remember.

I don't remember if it was 263mm or 253mm for the rear discs on the sport-package Cougar.

Okay, rear disks - 253x20 mm and front 278x24 mm .. unless you own a rare XR-7 ... :rolleyes:

Thanks. BTW, if you think our rear brakes are small.. you should see the wilwood calipers Mirko has on his 626 in the rear.. they're so tiny they're like baby brakes.
