Re: BRAKE DISC ?

Is there any reason you want to replace them? As long as they are above the minimum thickness cast into the rotor it's fine. No vibration when you apply brakes? No scoring deep enough to catch your fingernail? Then there should be no need.

Across the pond here in the States Raybestos "red-label" service grade rotor (or Raymold brand) around $15-20 USD is fine. If you need to spend more than that, the next step is pretty much around $40-50 USD, and in most cases we can get best-in-class Brembo.

On some model years there isn't Brembo available, Raybestos Advanced Technology rotor is another good choice. You may have Forodo or something like that in the UK, which Range Rovers use. At least the pads are. These are made by TRW automotive. Should be good too. If not maybe ATE by Conti?

Hi There,

Thanks for the comments.

No there is no vibration when braking at all. Unlike a 1985 1600cc MR2 I had. It was obvouse within hours of purchasing it used from Toyota.

The severe vibration came on after braking 60/70 mph. They knew what it was and it turned out Toyota had a full life warranty here on that model.. 20 K Miles was as far as ever got to before they were changed again.

Back to the CAMRY. Its difficult to check the rotors till I get wheels off. And I did wonder with the 100K on if it was maybe better to just do the front end up in the next weeks. Rather than strip to check then have to order them at that point. Would doubt have in stock.

Toyota want Circa £85 plus our VAT of 15% so thats £100 near as matters so that converts to US$ 140 ish. ( per Rotor )

Dont forget this place is called Treasure Island lol In passing I have always found the Brake pedal on this Camry always to be a bit spongy unlike some cars I have owned that always had a nice hard pedal even under braking. Changing fluid has never changed that. Toyota said it was part down to having ABS. But I dont know enough about that to comment.

Anyway thanks again

Bye Johnny
