Would anyone happen to know the part number for the stock brake rotors? I ordered rotors already but when they came in they didn't fit. I was about 20mm off. I'm thinking I need to find 275mm in diameter. and a 5 x 110 PCD I've searched. I did a search with those specs and came up w/ nothing. Every place asked for a part number. Any help would be appreciated. Here's a pic of her. I feel bad cuz I know m baby's Dogs are barking. LOL!
Sorry for not being clear. I was looking for front brake rotors and Pads. I'm in Germany so its mad hard to find these parts. I had to damn near drive all around town just to find a battery for my JZS160. Anyway I was told by my mechanic my rotors where 275mm. When he tried to install the 296-297mm they wouldn't fit. THE PCD allignment was cool, 114.3. He said they were too big, but he also said I needed 110mm PCD rotors. The Pads I used came off of my JZS160. But they didn't fit. Damn I'm all screwed up.
N/A JZS147 Aristos had 275mm front discs and (I believe) 291 mm rear (I don't know if that's true for all NAs, though).
The TTs have 296mm front / 307mm rear (same as Soarer TT, GS300. small MkIV Supra brakes, and, I think, 92-94 Lexus LS400).
As far as I know the 275/291 brakes are the same as the Toyota Soarer 3-litre and 4-litre cars, and also the early Lexus LS400 (1990-1992?).
Rear calipers and pads are the same as all Soarers, Toyota Aristo TT, Lexus GS300 Mk1, and the small Supra brakes (usually known as "J-Spec" in the UK), but the caliper brackets are different. The front caliper, bracket, and pads are different.
You can swap to the 296/307 brakes from a Lexus GS300 Mk1 if you use 16-inch wheels that clear the calipers. You would need front discs and pads, front calipers, front caliper brackets, rear discs and rear caliper brackets.
If you can't find the parts in Germany, ask on the UK Soarer forums (Soarer World and LSOC) and Club Aristo. LSOC has a shop. _________________

I thought I would post here instead of a new topic. But, and I know I will probably get flamed, I am ordering some front rotors through work tomorrow. I am ordering a pair of unslotted protex rotors. Yep, pretty no name, but a few scattered reviews say they are alright for a daily. As I am not going to be tracking it or thrashing it, they should be more than enough. As well as a 20 000km /1 year warranty it should be fine.
Also getting a seal kit put through the front calipers and QFM HPX pads. Midas quoted $88 to do the minor caliper kit and $40 for rotors and pads with me supplying everything.
With my discount at super cheap, I get rotors for about $80/pair...
