Hi all,

It's time for me to replace pads and rotors but I'm getting confused by rarer trim arguments and mod suggestions. When shopping around for these, the XS coupe trim is never an option to filter in part listings. Should I be looking for the S trim brakes or the X? Which does the '12 xs coupe come with? I don't wish to mod to a larger system this time around, just looking for the correct current size. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Your XS has the big brakes already, so you'll be looking for the same brake parts that are on RWD w/ Sport pkg, that might make the search easier.
FWIW your rotors will be 355mm front 350mm rear. And you calipers are these~

 

Thank you so much for the quick, clear and exact answer! A breath of fresh air in forums.

 

Oh weird, I thought the XS didn't have the Akebono's? I thought it was a RWD only thing but was a straight bolt on if anyone wanted them?

 

It is weird, it's ONLY the AWD X"S" coupe that gets the nice big brakes, the AWD X"S" Sedan just gets the dinky floaters
I guess it's not as important to stop in a Sedan

 

Oh keyword Coupe, I see.
