If your replacement rotors are sized the same as OEM, e.g. Not a larger diameter or thicker; then you can you your existing calipers without any problems.

I already posted the link, click on Ebay I rotors on my previous post.
But i dont think these will work on yours, you have a 01 and i think they used difrent brakes that year. you can ask them if they have any thing for ya.

be careful when thinking about inexpensive slotted rotors - cheap ones can developheat and stress related cracks in and around the slots and holes if you drive them hard. If you just putz around cheap cosmetic-oriented ones are probably OK.

On the other hand, if you just putz around why the need for slots?

yea, i now it was a risk. but i needed all new brakes, Front and Back. and at the time i didn't have the cash for a set of OEM rotors all around. So What the hell! figured i would try it. I will most likely go back to OEM eventually. They do stop quite well, But they are allot ruffer.

Go to www.rockauto.com

I get all my basic replacement stuff there. I saw front rotors for about $100.00
