Default Rotor Size for 1990 LS400

Hey gang!
I was looking for new rotors for my LS and am finding it hard to get an accurate size. I am not 100% sure it amkes a difference whether or not I use the original size, or more to the retrofitted larger rotors.

Any resources or info would be helpful.

Also, since I am doing htis myself, any tips on what to watch for in changing pads and rotors? I am going with cermaic pads.

Thanks!

The Captain

i just got my rotor (front brake disk) replaced last night. The shop replaced with Brembo. The cost was $65 each. The lowest thickness is 23 mm. Anything less than that will need to be replace.

good luck

Question

Rumor has it that 90-02 rotors should not be turned, as they warp quickly anyway. If you turn them you are just making them thinner (=hotter) and more susceptible to warping again. It's a viscous cycle.

I heard that these rotors are the same as Camry brakes - are there any easy upgrades?
