Yes,
Yes,
Yes,
Yes, in Cyprus as second hand used imported cars from Japan.
Not sure about AE101

As I remember the rotors didnt fit in the torque plate.

All the AE111 imported to Cyprus are considered to be rare cars and spare parts are not easy to find. I've searched and asked but noone has such parts or is willing to bring!


Thank you for your answer!

Yes I did, both accounts. I believe the second email is more accurate though.
Well by reading the posts I think you know better what calipers will bolt on and fit the 255x22 rotors!

It sure will be...VERY interesting!!! :lol:

Got the calipers finally!

On Tuesday I have an appointment with my mechanic to put them on the car, which gives me the opportunity for a quick question...

Will those calipers fit in 14'' rims or do I nees bigger?

Thaaanks for your time guys!

Naaah nevermind, now I know! :D

Today I fitted the calipers and the discs.

Big UPS to MRRevhead for supplying the AE101 calipers, hoses and pads!!!

Another question...

Is it normal for the steering wheel to pull right/left when braking?

Talked to my mech about it (he took it for a test drive too) and said to drive it a bit and we'll check it again tomorrow.

Thanks again to Mr Revhead for putting up with me all this time!

:D :D :D

We'll look into it tomorrow. I'm taking the car for wheel alignment.

Another thing that came up is that the right disc gets pretty hot, more than the left and after a few minutes of driving the speed is reduced like when Im braking!!! (we'll look into it too) It seems like the right caliper keeps biting the disc even if Im not on brakes.

The problem was the piston. We dismantled it, clean it and it's ok.

Hey MrRevhead can you pls remind me the car from where the calipers are taken from cause I think I'm missing something?

Also part number for the pads and if I can use any other brand?

Thanks again!
