There are actually 2 types of rotor available for 94 cars - a large diameter shaft and a small diameter shaft.

I bought both sizes and kept the one that fit....

thnx aries but my model is 95 rs, the only two diff are the rotor is a bit biger but the diameter is still the same on the housing. i talked to this guy at this rebuild shop and he said the bigger rotors are usually for cars that are boostings, hence bigger cams. my dads gonna help me out when he gets home thnx though. :)

Its a good idea to reset ECU after major changes - so that the ecu will start from scratch and "learn" the new configuration.

Resetting the ECU helps a lot -

To reset - Disconnect battery -ve and push the brake pedal for 20 secs
