How can I tell for sure which size rotor I have?
I will assume that my 1998 S70 base model has the 280mm diameter rotor.
Is this assumption correct?

I just did my 98 S70 T5. I saw the two models, so I measured mine, which are 11". You should be able to with wheels on the car close enough. One is 11", the other 11.9" - pretty large difference.

If you can see the edge of the rotor you can measure the diameter
without pulling the wheel. Put a tape measure on it X2

The real question is which rotors to purchase since there's so much junk around.

Even my 1998 V70R had 280mm rotors.
