EBC RK7636X pads are too small??
Hi guys
I imported the EBC RK7636X as replacement rotors for my GS 350 F-Sport RWD, after doing research and found these are the correct model for the front.
OEM rotors are 1000usd for the front set in my country, hence I went for the import route on this.
Shop phoned now saying these are too small?? apparently my brake pads will fall out lol?
Should I tell them just to go ahead? I was there when started fitting it does go on the wheel fine, and looked like correct size when they tried to fit it.
Regards

That part number appears to be the f-sport front rotor.
Is it possible they sent the wrong rotor and that what you actually have is the non-f sport front rotor?

I will check it shortly, the model number is correct on the box.
I think the none-fsport is 12.1 inch if I remember correctly.
I will also get another shop to check it out, as they said did not try and complete the install as they think it will not work.
If it does not fit I have to sell the car which kinda sucks as I recently bought it, I can't afford original rotors and too expensive to return these rotors to the USA.

The other shop also check and they are not the right size.
Amazon has agreed to refund me and pay for return shipping on it.
The shop did however agree to skim it, so it should be fine for now.
So fetching it later and hopefully everything is fine, no need to sell the car yet lol

Skimming worked fine and rotors looks good again!
Toyota quality at it's best, 107000km on original rotors and they still silent when I brake!
Will now start saving for OEM rotor set.
