Lexus SC300 brakes, need help please.
Are the brake calipers on a 1998 Lexus SC300, the same on a 2000 Lexus SC300?

They are different. 99-00 sc300 has different part number than a 1998 sc300.

This is something I didn't know either. I wonder what is different about them?
kinda along the same question is why the 300 has smaller rear brake pads and caliper's than the 400? Makes no sense to me.

SC400 has larger diameter and thicker rotors than SC300 probably due to being a heavier model.

Take few pics of the caliper all around, I'll take some pics of my 2000 when I get home, so you can see and maybe compare if they are the same or not
