If you could tell us what kind of car you have it would be helpful.

If its a DX, remember, the front hubs use a smaller Disc than the EX\SI's do, so you must either get direct sized replacements ( I had a hard time finding aftermarket sized for my LX) dont buy the EX ones cause they wont match up, as far as i know, their too big.
