well i posted above assuming his profile was correct..
so KAWZ, if you have a 2001 tib then you DO NOT have a captive setup if you have a 97-98 then you do!

Mines a 99 and i just got my brakes done needed new rotors for the front and they are a captive. so did they change over mid 99? or start 00.
Redz later down the line i want to get better rotors just threw new ones on for now but want to go slotted what vehicles can i get the assemblies from so i can do the a swap on mine. I know locations like you mentioned junkyard just curious as to similar vehicles.
yes keneipp = newb

I think the change from captive to non-captive was made in August 1998. I've never heard of a '99 that had captive rotors. What's the date of manufacture of your car?

last carfax i saw said 99. and its captive i looked before they changed my rotors and sure enough there were the 4 bolts coming right off the hub and they had to be pressed and look just like the pic in Redz DIY. If anyone has a carfax i can look it up again but its a 99 im 99% sure (1% since u said it happened in 98 lol)

Yes lol , i was confused. I thought that because my rotor didnt come off, I had "captivehubs" to be perfectly honest, I have NO IDEA what that even implies. Yes I do have a 2001 Tib lol. Unfortunately the sh*t is so rusted on, ive been doing so much to try and get it off, that is why I thought i had these so-called captive hubs. Sry guys, thx for the info tho and they faith for the help

ok now im getting confused. was mine just the same i mean did the originals last 80,000 miles and didnt need changed? could they have just been severly rusted on? not sure i mean i wanted to go to performance slotted rotors like the kind shown in Redz DIY pic on the right but if they are talking about taking them to a shop to ahve them pressed in for each wheel doesnt that make it a captive?

If you have captive rotors, in addition to the four wheels studs, you will have four large bolt heads visible. If you have non-captive rotors you may see two small screw heads but you will not have the four large bolt heads. If you look at the DIY for the non-captive swap there are pictures that should make the differences clear.
