Some companies advertise brake pads for 96 to 2000 soarers. Is there any difference in the year of the soarer as to the brakes?

I thought that a TT was one kind of brake and the V8 was another,except the 32 active, which is the same as the TT. Then the 3 ltr six was the same as the TT, regardless of year. Am I right?
Thanks John

Don't think there's any difference between years.
Also, 3ltr JZZ31 brakes are same as the V8 UZZ30/31.

So the 3 ltr six Jzz31 is the same as the V8, not the same as the TT. Ok, thanks for that.

Are the rears the same on all of them, no difference between the V8s and the 6s?

The seller was Ultima ("Brands only")Australia. Fronts for $40 and rears for $40,free postage, that is pretty cheap!. What do you think?

The HI-Q ceramic are only $61 per pair, seems a better deal, what does anyone think?

Mate they all run the same rear pads , just the TT UZZ32 have a larger rear rotor and different caliper mount .

BEWARE !!! There are 2 parts numbers for the rear , ONLY 1 will fit and work properly .

Bendix correct number is DB1396
Rda correct number is RDB1396

There is another part number listed to " fit " which is DB1234 or RDB1234 . THESE WILL NOT FIT . They are designed for the Celsior v8 only .

Ive found out the hard way , after previous owner had the incorrect ones fitted and they git stuck in thr caliper bracket causing the piston to pull 1 pad only and damaging my rear hub bearing and driveshaft and Abs too !

Hope this helps .

Hey John have you decided what your going after?

my UZZ31 is in need of new rotors. Have been getting quotes from Brakesdirect/gslrallysport.

QFM HPX pads for $79 a pair and $120 per DBA rotor.

But im also interested in what others have gone with to get a more rounded idea.

No Lawrence I haven't decided yet but I tend towards the ceramic as they give better life and better bite to your rotors.

I am waiting to get my 32 back from the paint shop and will look at both cars, front and back and see what I need, as I have not done break pads on either car yet. I just know that my 32 needs rears soon, roadworthy told me.

I noted that in the workshop manual they can go right down to 1 mil thickness according to Toyota. I have had thoughts of changing my 31 fronts to TT rotors and if I do that I will not buy new V8 pads for it.

I followed the recent story on the wrong pads on the back of Daniel's and how much hassle that caused.

I have been using RDA slotted rotors on the front and RDA pads for 5 years . Great combo , stop well from 200km/h . Not much dust .

And just fitted RDA rotors & pads to the rear ( $179 for rotors and pads ) .

From Daniel Clarke - "Mate they all run the same rear pads , just the TT UZZ32 have a larger rear rotor and different caliper mount ."

Is the difference in the hub or the caliper?
Is it possible to upgrade the UZZ31 with the larger rear rotor?

I have already upgraded the fronts to LS400.

I upgraded my UZZ30 to TT front and rear brakes(rotors,and calipers)
So, 31 shouldnt be any different to do.

I upgraded my v8 to TT brakes. Slight improvement not heaps. Then I put the celsior 4 pot on the front and made a huge difference. Even with crap tyres the brakes are crazy. Good combo with the TTs on the back.

How much is involved in putting the rear Supra brakes ( 2 piston ) on the soarer? Are the handbrake pads the same? Obviously need to change the dust shield, the discs are much larger, any other changes?
