Hello all-

So this weekend when I was putting new pads and rotors on the front of the GS300, one of the pistons on the passenger side caliper would not depress... so I ordered a new caliper from Advanced Auto... anyways got it in and mocked it up on the stock caliper bracket and the mounting holes do not line up... from center hole to center hole they are about 1/2" off (new being too small) So I cross referenced the part number they sent me against other vendors and all match saying I have the right part... I even looked on rockauto and compared pics and the one I have looks correct but im no idiot and its def not going to work... so I ordered a new one thinking maybe a shot in the dark it was boxed wrong but has anyone ever run into this problem? I don't mind spending the extra 40 if I absolutely have to on the aftermarket caliper bracket when this one should of worked... thoughts... ideas... all appreciated

Thanks in advance

Dustin

 

Whats all this about extra 40$ and what not ? There are so many calipers that fit this car its hard to believe you got one that doesnt work.

 

its an extra $40 to get the caliper with the bracket... after the second caliper has come in wrong... im starting to wonder if the PO might have swapped brakes... they are for sure not the TT brakes but im ordering the NA supra brakes cause they look identical picture wise to what I have...

 

Man, are they trying to sell you an adapter ? are the floating pins in the same location. **** the small jdm brakes fit. Do you have a photo ?

 

photo please... im thinking you got a camry front caliper... idk why, but it is just my gut feeling... lol
