Dealer says, "SE had bigger brake rotors than SR5 or LIMITED"

They do have larger rotors than the sr5 and SOME limiteds. Not sure how they decided which limiteds got the bigger brakes, some do and some don't.
 
brakes rotors and calipers 2003 limited 4 runner

Hey, very infrequent poster to this forum - only because my 4runner is tight! 180,000 plus miles and rolling strong.

In Sep 2010, I had to replace front brakes, calipers and rotors. pads are toyota, rotors and calipers aftermarket - toyota did not have them in stock when I needed them.

In for my 5k oil change last week, tech notices the pads were not fully sitting on the rotors. In other words, the diameter of the rotor, at first glane seemed 1/4 inch too short. Alternatively, the calipers may be wrong causing the caliper to mount 1/4 too far away from the rotor.

I purchased new rotors and pads from toyota, but the rotors are exactly the same size as the aftermarket rotors.

I phoned toyota, there is only one rotor and one caliper for this model - according to the book. Any help in the right direction would be great!

Thanks
Jim
 
Hi. I don't know the part numbers, hopefully one will post it, but this is incorrect. Not sure who you talked to, but the SPORT has larger rotors and have a different part number.

I usually remember this type things, but since I haven't replaced them; they have not managed to ingrain themselves into my brain.
 
ya, so that would be my bad. thanks guys.

diesel 4R really? i want one! tell me it doesn't require adblue.
 
As I understand it, the SE has 13.3" rotors, while the SR5 and Limited come with 12.6" rotors.

Does anyone have the OEM part no for the 13.3'' Sport Rotors? I need it for my 08 and I can't seem to find the part no, thx !
