Slotted discs for AE101 superstruts?

[TERRA Operative]

I have just acquired an AE101 Levin with superstrut brakes, and want to upgrade to slotted discs. Does anyone know where I can get something like this? The car is an import, so DBA don't seem to have anything and I'm not too willing to pay Toyota tax on OEM parts...

What's out there that's available for my car? DBA make rear slotted rotors, so that's not a problem, it's just the fronts.

[Mr Revhead]

you sure DBA dont?

you may need to get custom ones. TRD dont do them anymore
why do you want slotted? even on the rally car stock ones were fine

[JP]

St Mary's Specialised Brake and Clutch should be able to sort you out with a slotted disc, they'll probably use an DBA743 and redrill it to 4x100

just take an oem disc to a machining place and they should be able to copy the slots from another disc. Thats what i did for my ae101 discs...

[TERRA Operative]

I'm pretty sure DBA don't have anything, unless they make slotted rotors for the MR2 with superstrut, can anyone shed some light?

Kebin, what discs did you use, and what did they go onto? How much do OEM discs cost?

[JP]

get a slotted DBA743, machine the outside diameter down from 278 to 275mm and redrill from 5x100 to 4x100.

How different are the AE101 discs to the AE101 Levin?

Also, try anybody that stocks RDA or EBC discs...

I've got the EBC catalogue, but there's no listing for the superstrut option. However there is a listing for the Corolla Verso. Did these have the superstrut brakes?
The sizes in the catalogue for the 1.8 are:

Diameter: 275mm
Height: 49mm
Thickness: 25mm

Will these fit? They are also used on the 2002-2006 1.8L ZZE123, the 1.4L TD, the 2.0 TD CDE120, and 2.0 CDE120, if that makes any sense.
Does anyone know the actual sizes of the OEM superstrut discs?

Regarding the DBA743's, is it possible to get blanks? Ie, no holes drilled for the wheel studs?

im not sure where they got them from, but i have slotted discs on my 101 Rolla i can ask the previous owner where they are from.

[TERRA Operative]

That would be awesome.

Kebin, what discs did you use, and what did they go onto? How much do OEM discs cost?

I got discs from an ae111 blacktop 20v front cut. They were leftovers which i found in the parts for sale section here.
I simply had them machined then eventually got slots machined on them. Though i still havent fitted them to my wagon as of yet I think i got them for around $30 or so. All up with having them machined and slotted would be around the $80-$90 mark for the pair.

I measured them up and taking in to account i had them machined etc. i got:
Diameter: 258mm
Height: 47mm
Thickness: 22mm

TERRA Operative,

What is the difference between the Aussie AE101 discs and the discs that you're after?

The reason I ask is because DBA list a Slotted rotor for the AE101... It's a DBA 711...

[TERRA Operative]

My car is a Jap spec Levin with superstrut brakes. It's actually an AE101 Levin GTZ, and seeing that I'm upping the boost on the 4AGZE amongst other things, I want to get the braking as good as I can.

The aussie AE101's didn't come with the superstrut option AFAIK, and use a smaller disc.


Kebin, looking at your measurements, is seems the ones I posted above are pretty close. I'll measure upmy current superstrut rotors to make sure they will fit. Otherwise machining may be the only way to go.
Cutting the slots won't cause problems with cracking will it?

Did the Import AE112s come with the Superstrut option?

[JP]

Aus delivered AE101's have a 55mm center bore from memory. Superstrut discs have a 54mm center bore.
