Q about '89 turboII and gtus brake rotors...

are the brake rotors in the rear for the tII and gtus vented? or non-vented? are there any s5's that are not vented?

4-lug brakes are ventilated front, solid rear; 5-lug brakes are ventilated all round. So yes, the Turbo and GTUs have ventilated rear discs.

Looks like my info was correct for S4's, but not quite for S5's. I didn't read the FSM closely enough. Plus I was referring to the GTUs as asked, but typo'd GTU instead.

My answer to the original question is still correct. Turbos and GTUs's have ventilated rear disks.

It came with the same brakes as the T2, 'verts, GXL, Sport.

The 4 piston front vented and single piston rear vented.
