Default brake questions on my T5

Ok, so i have a 1998 S70 T5 (manual) and it has been quite some time since the breaks have been replaced (along with the rotors).

my question is what size wheels are my stock T5 wheels and what size rotors are they (stock)

specifically I want to know if this kit on ebay will work for me.

any advice?

I wouldn't replace rotors unless yours are worn down or warped. You can check FCP's site. Also, you may want to check your pads. Just pull a wheel and measure. If they have more than 1/8" you should be good for a while.

the rotors are quite worn down which is why I want to replace them. But I should pop the wheel off and take a look myself.

If you know they are worn, no need to double check. You can usually tell when looking through the wheel. If you area talking about the brake pads, yea, pop the wheel off and check the pads.

I don't think I would purchase the kit from eBay when you can use our discount code and get 10% off with free shipping directly from their site. There are lots of options on ipd as well. If you want to try to improve your braking. I went with PBR pads.
