BrysSC400 Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 I was coming back from a business trip to San Diego, when a truck dumped some wooden pallets onto I-10 and I hit one with the back right tire at a little over 85. the tire, wheel, and suspension are fine (i basically took everything off looked it over and put it back on), however it warped the crap out of my rotor. The rotor is stock. I'm looking for new rotors now. Obviously I would like some sweet looking slotted&cross drilled racing rotors, but at this point, I'll take pie pans if there not warped and I can get them here yesterday; my car shaking is driving me CRAZY!!! Please help...you guys are the best! Until next time! -B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywoodnyc Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Supra braking systems will fit the SC coupes as a direct bolt-on provided that you use 17x8-inch wheels or larger with the proper offset. These are very large brake calipers, which require specific offsets to clear. You want at least 2 mm or more clearance between the calipers and the backside of the wheel spokes. It is not recommended that you compensate by shaving the brake caliper, and definitely not the wheel spokes. Supra braking systems will not fit on the SC300 or SC400 with stock Lexus wheels mounted.

johnny3 Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 I think you bent the axle, the rotor mounts to the axle flange, better check that first, take the brake disc off & check for run-out (wobble) where the disc flinges to axle.

BrysSC400 Posted November 8, 2004 Author Share Posted November 8, 2004 Hey guys! I spent all weekend working, but I'm back for a while now. About the supra TT's and the clearance issue I have 18" Enkei 7 spokes, so I think they'll fit, and they do appear to be the easiest to mount. Also, I'm pretty sure I didn't bend the axle, because with the wheel and rotor off the axle has no run-out latrerally or vertically, but if I pull the e-brake real softly the shaking is insane which leads me to believe it's the rotor. Tell me what ya'll think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bean_8044 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 If its not shaking at all when you are driving normally, and only when youre applying brakes, then it would seem like its the rotor. Where do you feel the shaking at? Brake pedal, drivers seat, steering wheel....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
