Default SC400 rotors and brake pads should fit SC300?

I accidentally ordered sc400 brake pads and rotors.
When I tried to take them out. I noticed that the rotors were bigger.

is it normal? is it possible to fit Sc400 rotors/pads onto a Sc300?

thanks guys

Your calipers will be too small for the pads I believe.

I think you're misunderstanding me.

I have possession of SC400 rotors and pads.

All i have to buy is the SC400 calipers right?

If you gotta buy the whole ball of wax at this point, why not just do a full LS400 or Supra front brake swap?

I honestly don't have any more money to that swap.

I bought the wrong rotors and pads and now my friend who is doing my brakes said my front caliper is messed up.

Now, I'm wondering if all i need now is new set of SC400 calipers, since I already have the SC400 rotors and pads...

it should fit without any clearance problem?

The SC3 front calipers won't fit SC4 front pads. The SC3 has slightly smaller calipers. You'll need front SC4 calipers to fit SC4 pads. The SC4 calipers will fit on SC3 knuckles with no problem. You may or may not have to cut the SC3 dust shields to fit the SC4 calipers. If both cars rotors have the same diameter, then you'll have a big chance not to cut the dust shields.

I'm still waiting for the sc400 calipers to come home.
Now I'm worry that the calipers will hit my 15inch wheels and won't have any clearence.
anyone has sc4 calipers on their sc3 with a 15inch stock wheels on?

I'm positive the SC calipers will clear your 15" wheels.
