Anyone out there know the difference in the front rotors of a RX assembled in Canada and one in Japan? When at an auto parts store the guy said there were two different part numbers, now I'm curious?? I own two 2004's and wish to put on new rotors instead of turning them on a machine. Thanks

 

Try calling Lexus parts to confirm.

Should NOT be any difference. Went to Irontoad and there is only one Part for both the RX330(2004) through RX350(2009). By the way, each rotor cost $107.18 + shipping. Are you buying OEM?

 

Got them at Carquest, an auto parts store for 63.00/each, Toyota parts wanted $116/each. Auto Zone and Advance Auto wanted 66.00/each but showed no North American built RX in their system, only Japanese assembled.

 

does powerslot make rotors for the RX? Ive used them in combination with Hawk HPS pads on my Maxima and they were awesome (lots of brake dust though)

 

Rotors for US and Japan built are the same. If you do a search on the net, OEM parts will show up for RX330, they are the same supplier to Toyota, mostly Japanese.

 

Thanks for the info !

 

Becareful when replacing the front rotors. On a 2008 RX 350 the hub size differs by .01" depending on whether it was assembled in Canada or Japan. After market prices are roughly $60 for the Japan version and $120 for the Canadian. Some manufacturers just build the larger size and say it's OK to use on either car. Maybe, but maybe not!

 

Is this information about where the truck is assembled available from the truck? I have 2008 RX and probably will need new rotor in about a year.

 

Per Lexuspartsnow website:

JPP - Japan Production. The VIN begins with "J".
NAP - North American Production. The VIN begins with "1", "2", "3", "4" or "5".

 

Thank you for the information. Mine starts with '2' so it is North American Production.
