You should have the larger 308mm rotors. I have a 2002 ARC with the larger rotors. Interestingly, I put Brembo plain rotors on the front and they were stamped "made in Italy". I've also received Brembo's from Mexico in the past. Used Akebono pads up front which keep the wheels very clean. I find the Akebono's don't stop/bite like the OEM pads did but also I find minimal rotor wear, a trade-off I guess. On the back, I decided to try Centric (China) rotors and the matching Centric posi-quiet pads. The Centric pads took quite a while to bead in but so far, I'm very pleased with the Centric rotors and pads. I ran a dial indicator on the rear rotors after they were installed and both rotors were less than .001" of runout. They actually measured a little truer than the Brembo's. Good luck with your brake project!
