i bought new rotors from http://www.nolimitmotorsport.com/prod/FS00042 and i thought they were front rotors. they are sold 10.4 mm rotors, the guy helping me change my brakes said they wont fit up front because they are to small... the old front rotors are vented and much wider.. my question is can i use these in the front (with stock calipers) or did they send me the wrong brakes?

I'm going to say no because the carrier bracket and calipers will be wrong. Return them and get vented rotors. Why downgrade?
Was the build date after 4/98?

If your car was 1998 March or earlier...solid rotors, otherwise vented fronts. You must use the correct ones.

IMHO, nothing is better than OEM blanks. Drilled are nothing more than bling.
