SKperformance Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 You have an 2001 ES 300 but your profile to the right says RX 300 ? Ceramic pads are going to bite more but make sure they are installed by someone qualified to install and lubricate it completely. Changing your fluid would be a better way to improve braking.

KatoC Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 That's great... May be I will get new rotors too. Is ES300 known for getting front rotor warp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexusk8 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 That's great... May be I will get new rotors too. Is ES300 known for getting front rotor warp? Depending on how tight the lug nuts are fastened and the condition of the rotors, brake rotors may warp over time on any vehicle, not just the ES. They can also mildly warp if they undergo extreme temperature changes (e.g. cold rain or ice splashed onto the hot rotors in the winter season).

SKperformance Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 As you are local if you want to get a nice set of brembo rotors i can get them cheap for you and even drilled . I find them equal if not better than stock rotors for much cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
