Rooinater Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 so i was wondering if there is a difference in 2wd and 4wheel drive for the front brake rotors? i need to find a vented rotor, the only car i remember seeing at the taco PAP is a ea81 sedan, can't remember whether it was a 4wd or 2wd. so before i waste the gas i was wondering on the interchangablility... and which cars had the non vented rotors? i know generally ea81's are all interchangable, but i really would like to know the differences between the 2wd or 4wd and what years the non vented rotors came on. i have the vented rotors presently. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I dont think there is a difference between 2WD and 4WD. But if you are planning on going from solid rotors to vented, then You will need to get the caliper and mounting bracket as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woundedbrat Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 don't know if this will help but my 86 brat is vented. the only other thing I can think of was a 83 wagon 2wd was solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 It's a year thing - they chaged from solid to vented on all EA81's halfway into the 83 model year. So '83's are a crapshoot, everything older is solid, and everything newer is vented. 2WD and 4WD use the same size. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
