What is the correct U.S. Front & Rear Rotor?
 
Can anyone else with a 2016 or any year FR-S tell me what size and type of rotors they have? Are your rears vented or solid?

I'm shopping for rotors and I see options for either 294mm fronts with vented rears, or 277mm fronts with solid rears...

I measured the fronts and I can see the rears are solid so I know I have the smaller brakes. I know I can just order what I need...

The reason this has me bothered looking further is that I just checked TIS for a 2016 FR-S, and TIS only lists 294mm front and vented rear rotors as spec, I'm wondering if my car was some sort of anomaly (bought it new/ordered it myself). I thought the FR-S in the U.S. was single-spec and other countries had the 2 options...

Thanks.

your fronts are 277mm then?

my '14 has vented rear rotors to the best of my knowledge..

i believe the only difference in braking systems was the brembo option in the '15+ cars...

I don't think the US ever came with solid rears/small fronts. Always the larger brakes with vented rears. Some one please correct me if i'm wrong.

well pokemon never used cars much, so his car must have solid rear discs.

The brembo's became optional with the '17+ face-lift cars. '13-'16 was still same brakes

OK I felt the need to respond to my thread in case anyone searches brake sizes and finds this thread.

I was dead wrong. This is what I get for "measuring" with the wheels on and looking at rotors in a rushed manner, again through the wheels.

I in fact do have the 294mm rotors and vented rears. Phew. Ordered and installed the right rotors with my pads.
