Hey Guys,

I replaced my drive belt over the weekend and while i had my tire off i decided to take a couple pics so i could figure out what breaks were on my car (EV0 or EV1)

Can anyone tell from the pictures? .. im looking to upgrade or at the very least replace my roters (Front and Rear) but i need to know what im dealing with first

If your car is a 98.5 like your sig says, then they are E1 brakes. Unfortunatly the casting numbers won't tell you anything.

Definitely the E1 brakes. E0 brakes have pads which cover the entire rotor area, whereas the E1 leave that quarter inch gap between the hat and swept area...

Agreed... Those are definitely E1 brakes. Pick up standard contour pads and SVT rotors. It'll keep the parts people from getting confused... ;)
