2002 Es300 Question (rotors)

[Firewalker]

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. Jeff

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.
