Hi guys,
I wonder if anyone could help me as I'm about to loose my mind trying to source correct brake discs for my 2013 GS450h.
So, I took my car to the shop for front disc + pad replacement as I've been experiencing wobble when braking and I was told I had warped front discs when I took my car for the yearly maintenance earlier.
The guy calls me back saying he has ordered the wrong discs which were 334mm whereas my car has 356mm. He said he couldn't find a single catalogue/website that would offer this size or even recognize it as an option. I went and got my car back and started to do my own research. I too had a hard time finding any reference to the bigger size. Apparently there's a F Sport version sold in the U.S. that has this brake disc size (RWD models only). Still doesn't explain why my car has these discs even though it's a standard euro spec LHD (I live in Finland) GS450h Luxury. One U.S. forum had a discussion claiming that the brake caliper setup is identical between "regular" and the F Sport RWD and you could just put the smaller discs + pads in but that doesn't sound right as the pads would be positioned "over" the edge of the smaller disc.
This wouldn't be a big issue otherwise but I called my local dealer and they told me that a pair of these bigger discs + pads would cost me £750(!) if ordered through them. I refuse to believe that there aren't any aftermarket parts but everywhere I look the discs are either 334mm or there's no spec sheet that would clearly state the size.
Has anyone encountered the same problem or happen to know for sure which parts would be the correct ones in this case?
Thanks in advance for your help!
