could someone be kind enough to tell me whether the sportivo rear brakes (or whatever the hell the south africans used) diameter is?

im getting confused with all these ebay listing saying that its for the ZZE123 when there are 2 different sizes of the rotor.

apparently the SA built corollas have 275mm front and 258mm rear rotors

apparently the JP built corollas have 275mm front and 269mm rear rotors

and apparently there was a 255mm FRONT rotor on an earlier model. which doesn't bloody make any sense it being a smaller rotor than the rear when the front does at least 60% of the braking?

being all that, yet i currently have TRD black pads in the rear for the corolla and on the box it says for the ZZT231 and the ZZE123?

so the pad is interchangable between the 258mm and 269mm rear rotors? huh? wtf? am i missing something here?

jesus f#cking Christ someone tell me before i rage quit at toyota. why dont you just make the same size rotor for ALL the bloody corollas across the same range?

rant end.

or unless someone has a spare they can measure.

You can try call up supercrap auto so they can call up dba for the sizes if you want, when I ordered my fronts they had the rears too but not slotted, size should be the same though

Plenty of cars have larger discs on the rear, remember that rear calipers often aren't as powerful as fronts (ie single- rather than twin-piston etc etc), and rear discs often aren't vented.

being all that, yet i currently have TRD black pads in the rear for the corolla and on the box it says for the ZZT231 and the ZZE123?

so the pad is interchangable between the 258mm and 269mm rear rotors? huh? wtf? am i missing something here?

Nothing strange about having the same pad fit different sizes rotors, VN Commodore rear pads fit perfectly in KE55/KE70 front calipers for instance...

some insight regarding the trd black pads .... i ran these on the rear previously but they only lasted 12-18mths ..... from factory the OEM ones lasted for 3-4 yrs and have since swapped the TRD black pads out for OEM's and once again they are going on 2+ yrs ..... the rears on our ride performs hardly any work and probably does more to stabalise the car under braking more than anything ..... the fronts on the other hand cop a battering ;) ;) ;)

ok, i've had enough of this shit.

As most people already know, i recently bought a set of rotors for the front and rear for the sportivo. the ebay listing and the aftermarket sites all say that the sportivo take the SA diameter which is 258mm.

well guess what? i tried to get them installed today and they aren't the correct size. they were clearly smaller than the current rotors i got on. mechanic said that they didnt sit flush on the hub. so off they went and now i'm going to order the japanese diameter rotor and fit them on nex weekend.

to further add to this, there was a mate who had his changed to RDA gold rotors a long time ago and he said that his mechanic told him the rotors are smaller than the OEM rears. so he "had to get it custom made" to be fitted on the car. This "custom made" is actually just the same size as the japanese rotor.

another story i heard was that a former member on this forum redrilled celica ZZT231 rear rotors to fit on the sportivo as they share the same size (just not the stud holes corolla has 4 celica has 5) the size was also 269mm.

and this explains why the rear pads on the celica are interchangable between them and the sportivo. also says on the box as well.

this clears it up now and i'll be sending emails to the aftermarket companies to update their information so no confusion is to be had again in the future. i'll also update the corolla faq just in case people want to know what brakes to get.

FYI - the pads are of the aisin type. not the sumitomo. however when i removed the TRD blacks on the rear it said "sumitomo" on them. don't ask why.

that is all, thread closed.

That was just for the Fronts although they do have goodridge braided brake lines and the rears aswell so if you buy a few things or get a group buy happening it becomes alot cheap as shipping is half of that $100

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
