Correct me if I'm wrong but fixing the Sport won't necessarily be an upgrade since the 4th gen came with the larger rotors & calipers.
The only question I have, is do I need to change the calipers? How would I know for sure if they're shot or the problem is limited to warped rotors?
Part of me just thought I would order calipers, rotors, and pads but wouldn't mind saving $300 if the existing OEM calipers are still good.

Yes, the SE has the larger rotors so I don’t know how much of an upgrade 5th Gen brakes would be.
As for the calipers, my experience was that one or more pistons wouldn’t move when I tried to retract them. You could buy the calipers so you have them if needed then return them if not.
I just did my ‘07 Sport’s brakes with
OEM pads and rotors since Toyota’s online price was essentially the same as the aftermarket gear I was looking at. Couldn’t be happier.
