323 or 303 ?

How do i know what my brake size is without having to take the wheel of to measure the rotor ? I need to know because im ordering new brakes but im not sure if i have the sport suspension or just the normal suspension .

Is there an easier way ?

thanks

You should have posted this in the canadian section. just take note that any info about model differences is very different between US and canada. so what im going to say applies SPECIFICALLY TO CANADIAN models. I cant speak for the US or other markets.

if your car is manual, you have the larger brakes. period. If your car is an automatic GT then you will very have the larger brakes. If your car is an automatic GS, then there is a small chance you have the smaller brakes. I have never seen an automatic GS in person so i cant say for sure, but the comptuers at work say this is the case.

As for the suspension, if you turn you steeringwheel all the way to the right, get out and have a look at the front sway bar from the passenger side front of the car, there should be a paited dot/blob on it. if it is yellow, its sport. if tis red, its normal. Most canadian cars come equipped with the sport. in fact, as far as i know to get the normal you have to get an automatic GS. even my manual GS has the sport bars on it.

hope this helps.
