Question on my 99' Solara Brakes

[SteveSolara]

So i was about to change my brakes the other day, i got a pair off EBC and another website. I entered in my year and model correctly, and i always get the wrong rear brake pads. The ones i order were smaller and a different size. I've met with TheGreenDutch, is and i check on his rear brakes and the ones i had ordered that was wrong for my car fits on his...wtf he has a 00" solara and i have a 99' but i have bigger pads in the rear that he does. Soo anyone know what my pads could possibly be?

hear are the ones that don't fit: I got this from a fellow SG member too. The ones i have on now are bigger and longer.

I dont know how it works but the 99 solara has larger rear brake calipers than the 00' ask Gabe he would be better at explaining it than me. your vin # would help you get the right part # at the dealership and go from there or the 98 camry should use the same pads as the 99 solara.

hope this helps

ONLY the 99 Solara has bigger calipers/pads so you need to be specific when purchasing rear pads. From 00 and up, Toyota used smaller rear calipers so yes, they downgraded.

Ok thanks guys, yeah i bought some store online and they only had options for 99'-00' and that is actually for the 00'. But now i know so ill be sure to check it out more

Even the front ones were bigger too remember, buy you got the better A/C console tho. The vent slider is way better then my electronic button in which I have to find the proper pressure in order to get it to switch.... I guess downgrading the safety features was necessary in order to upgrade the interior...lol
