Firewalker Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I bought my Lexus used, I was painting the brake calipers the other day (I cannot stand seeing the unsightly rust that forms on the rotor hat and brake calipers) anyway, I noticed that my front rotors were not slotted or drilled, and I thought I read somewhere that 2002 ES300's came with slotted rotors. Does anyone know if that is true? At 65,000 miles I would think that would be premature changing of rotors if the previous owner already installed solid rotors. Thanks in advance also, if anyone is interested, I can post pics of the calipers and rotors painted, it is such an easy job and looks 100 % better.

steviej Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 nope. Toyota rotors are plain, no slots no holes. In 2002-3 there was a TSB because of a material mismatch though. But the replacement rotors were solid too. I painted my rotors and calipers for the same reason. steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
