2001 Front brake pads (Difference?)


Recommended Posts

Looking to replace the front brake pads on my 2001 Corolla Conquest auto but there are 3 types of pads available. Can anyone shed some light on the difference between Aisin brakes and Sumitomo. Have pulled the wheel off and can't see any branding on the calliper or disc. The car isn't fitted with ABS if that helps.

Take a pad out and look at the shape of it - there is usually a fairly significant difference in outline between the Sumitomo/Akebono/Aisin pads.  Websites like Bendix and DBA have pad outlines on their parts catalogues that you can easily compare to.

 

Also, do you have an AE112 or ZZE122?  I think the very early ZZEs were built as 2001 models as they were released at the end of the year.  The ZZE throws an extra spanner in the works as there was a mix of Japanese-built and South African-built models sold here (depending on trim etc) and they have lots of little differences that aren't always immediately obvious - pretty sure the brakes is one of them
