Question Is my Sport different regarding parts?

Hey all, on top of the problems I'm having I need to look at new pads and rotors. When I look up the parts on various web sites it asks for the rotor thickness and if it has a sport suspension.

I'm not sure if the sport suspension is referencing my model or the STR.

I can't seem to find the answer using the search feature.

Default I have the same model as you

The str has CATS we have regular struts....look at tirerack.com good prices on struts. Once you remove inspect your upper arm bushings...more than likely they will need replacement!

The sports model has a slightly larger diameter rotor than the standard model.

Type-R is different again.

I can't seem to find it but I recall there was something on the forum that I could put my VIN in and it would give me all the info on my car. Anyone remember where that was?

Well I went to the dealer and called several dealers. Man I have never had dealers so unwilling to give out information on vehicles. I cannot get any info from the dealers except they will put the car up on the rack and measure the rotors. $160.00!!!


Once again does anyone know the VIN decoder link is?

That confirms you have the Sport model. Non-sport is 300mm.
