My rotors are stuffed, I think this car was sitting in water for a bit, there's a tide mark in the carpet. :( I looked on good old ebay and wouldnt you know it, nothing to match my JDM Celica, One helpful seller reckons he can find something to match.. maybe.. or send them to RDA and get them to find a match. But that means time without black beauty and no guarantee on finding a replacement

So Im thinking maybe the best way to fix the problem is replace the rotors and calipers altogether with Aus model units.. any ideas on this? Would Aus model calipers bolt straight in? Or would I need to replace more than just the calipers?

A brake service in town can machine the rotors on car, this is my last resort.

Thanks guys and girls..

Found my answer about the pads at Alltrac.net ...st165 pads it is.. looks like I'm getting the rotors machined too.

# early jdms st185 feature a front 255mm x 25mm rotor and twin pot floating calipers. (as per the st165)

# later spec jdms st185 feature a front 277mm x 25mm rotor and single pot floating caliper. (this is a bolt on upgrade for the early cars. need to buy the calipers, carriers, discs and pads)
