Mystery solved, I think Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] (#112) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SWEDECAR) on Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:20:20 In Reply to: Re: Brake rotor anomality, saabdoc, Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:42:42 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
By coincidence I was putting away some brake rotors today and noticed on the box of a 900/9-3/9-5 rotor it said 288 mm.
Hmm, I said to myself. The 9-3 Sport Sedan use the same bolt pattern on the wheel hub, could it be that everything else is the same?
Sure enough, when measuring, everything else match up except the diameter.
So the car in question being a 2003 9-3 Sport Sedan, the shop probably got rotors for the OG9-3 and since they fit (almost), everything was fine.
This goes to show that car manufacturers couldn't care less about stream lining production and trying to cut cost here and there in manufacturing by using the same parts as much as possible.
