Does my 98 Forester have trapped rotors or floating rotors? What is the difference?

I'd say they're pretty trapped/fixed to me.

And stoptech is your friend for all brake-related questions. The white papers they have are awesome.

Thanks for all the help. I found a document online (http://www.mightyautoparts.com/pdf/articles/gb0405.pdf) that says "trapped or captive rotors are rotors that are placed behind the hub... This style of rotor gained popularity in the 80's and 90's, mainly on Japanese vehicles. They stopped being used in the early to mid 90's and not too many technicians mourned their death." The rotors on my 98 Forester can be removed without removing the hub so they are floating rotors.
