Hi everyone! I just realized today, after changing my front calipers 2 weeks ago, that I don't have any special hardware on my front brakes to work with FSVT front rotors.
My car came with FSVT front rotors, calipers, and pads. I decide to change over to new CSVT calipers (bigger piston bore) while retaining the FSVT rotors and pads. All my car had was a small spacer (a somewhat thick washer) between each caliper bracket and the knuckle. No adapter brackets, or anything fancy. Just an OEM looking caliper bracket and the spacers.
I didn't think anything of it until I read today that the NPG kit is required for using the FSVT front rotors on the front end. How is it that I'm running the FSVT rotors without these brackets????????
The caliper bracket (aside from the use of spacers) bolted right up to my knuckle. The FSVT calipers and CSVT calipers both bolt directly up to the caliper brackets. The only thing I had to do was trim the outer pad backing to fit my CSVT calipers. I measured the rotors and they were 11.9".
Do I possibly have FSVT front knuckles on my car? Or is that not possible?
