1997 Brakes Rotors and Pads
Guys:
I have both a 1997 Camry Le (226,000 miles) and a 1998 Lexus GS 300. I have brand new EBC front rotors for the Lexus lying around the house and I wanted to know if they would fit on my Camry? My camry needs brakes and I would like to use the rotors on the camry as it will save money and improve the braking performance over the worn-out crappy Pep Boys replacement ones i have now.
can anyone recommend good brake pads for the camry as well? also if these rotors won't fit, what kind do you receommend i go with and ballpark pricing. i am using stock calipers with all my cars.
thanks,
ted

RE: 1997 Brakes Rotors and Pads
The Lexus appears to use a larger diameter rotor.
Suggest Brembo brand rotors, around $40 mail order at rockauto. These are the plain rotors, non-drilled, slotted, etc. Make sure you specify engine size, might measure the diameter of the ones you have.
Toyota OEM pads are fine at around $50-60 from the dealer, or Hawke makes a good pad. Suggest a softer semi-metallic pad versus a ceramic pad as they are easier on the rotor and work just fine for normal driving.
