by **Ryan** » Wed Oct 13, 2004 2:18 pm

I just sold my brembo rotors along with trd brakes pad @ ebay since I am upgrading to a big brake kit the fellow who bought of me had a 01 Solara
4cyl I just had an email stating that it dindn't fit his 4cyl Solara since my was V6 now this guy filed a complaint in paypal and wants his money back. Im pretty sure the braked pads and rotors are the same thing for the I4 and v6 right?? any inputs thanks

Not on the back. Rears on the I4 use drums, not discs.

Think the fronts are the same, but not 100% on that.

not this discussion again...there has always been a debate...from what i recall i4 solara (5sfe) w/ abs have had 4 disc's. But no one has collaborated on that...so the mystery continues....

Well I only sold front rotors which looks exactly the same as the i4 solara and mines, I just think this guy is full of bs since the brake pads dont fit too

If they were the same year, the fronts shouldn't have a problem.

I did however have problems with brake pads meant for a 99 or 2000 on my 01

well I had a 99 he has an 01 I really have a good feeling he is lying he must screw the installation or something because they are still both gen 1
the only thing I doubt about is I have a v6 and he has an i4 and I think the sev6 has upgraded brake rotors someone validate me on this I dont think this guy should get a refund help

Sorry but the i4 can't fit the v6 rotors or pads. YOU should have known better. Sorry. Good luck with your pay-pal issue. You will loose that battle if you did not specify that it will only work for v6 models.

Sucker!!!

Dude you must be kidding the guy just sent me an email apologizing for all the commotion. It fits he just didnt know hot to install it. I even called Concord Toyota with the part # and they say they will fit both i4 and v6

Um, I have a 2000 5S-FE and the FRONT rotors are the same as the 1MZ-FE. How do I know? Because when I bought the brembo drilled/slot rotors, they were the same as all the 6cylinders. How did I determine this? Because the person that did the group buys for those rotors had many 6cylinder guys buy as well as 4cyl guys. He had rotors all over his house and notice that they are the same. He almost returned them because he thought the rotors for the 5S-FE were the wrong shipments. Anyways, in conclusion, Solara front rotors are all the same.

Rotor and brakes pads are the same for v6 and 4cyl???
