Question 2006 GS300 Rotor Dimensions

As always, I apologize if this is somewhere else in the forums but I’ve looked for a while and found nothing.

Anyway, what are the specs for rotors for my 06 GS300? The plan was to have new ones on hand when I do my brake job and measure the rotors when I get the tires off. If they’re already too low then I’ll just replace them right there. If not, then I’ll just return the new rotors. I can use calipers to measure the rotors but I need to know the min/max dims, etc.

Thanks for the help!

The values should be on the rotor itself. Might be a little dirty and hard to see but it's there. In any case, here are the specs from the manual.

Standard thickness: 32.0 mm (1.260 in.)
Minimum thickness : 30.0 mm ( 1.181 in.)

Make sure you have an accurate micrometer or dial calipers!

also if you order new rotors, there is a difference between AWD and RWD rotors.

Yes, good point. The info I provided is for RWD

Great, thanks Wong.

and IXI, I found tht out when I did the front brakes, but thank you for the warning as well.

Looks liek the hard part will be getting a new caliper.
