Anyone know where I can find rotor alignment correction plates? Moving forward with rotor replacements, I want to do this the proper way and measure rotor runout, and fixing it appropriately. Don't want to slap rotors on blindly.

Thanks!

 

So legit I had to Google that cause I've never heard of rotor correction plates.
I've been putting rotors on cars for the last 25 years, about 95% of those vehicles were Toyota products, and about 95% of time it was genuine Toyota parts and never had an issue.
I actually watched a Youtube video to see what it was all about. I can see why you would use it, however, if the runout was that bad on the rotor, just get another rotor.
And honestly, if you can feel runout that is 0.003 of an inch, good on ya, cause hell if I'd ever notice that.

If you do go ahead and get them, let us know how it turns out. Maybe do a before and after comparison driving the vehicle to see if you notice a difference.
Realistically the rotor will change shape/runout over time, so I guess the other question is how often do you need to do this.

 

I'll trust 25 years experience with using genuine OEM parts. All I know is what I read on the steps of doing things, and the very limited amount of experience I have. If that's the case though and you've had easy replacements, I'll look passed it. I just wanted to make sure I did my part to not encounter pedal vibration, warped rotors, etc.

As always @Sasnuke , thank you!

 

I agree with Sasnuke, I think maybe years ago it would have been a little more important but these days brake components (that aren’t super cheap) are made with very very tight tolerances and you shouldn’t have any issues swapping out without using the rotor correction plates.

 

I appreciate this thought regarding parts availability going forward. I too am very interested in a slightly used LC and have considered the possibility of parts and service availability. Then, I remember that my SC430 with 48k miles at 19 years old has never broken. NOT once! The LC is a much more sophisticated car but I like it because it is a naturally aspirated V8. I am sure the Japanese reliability will carry on to this LC model. I also think the limited use and pampering my future LC will get may also protect it a bit longer. The major concern I have is the electric movement that is fast coming out way. The auto makers LOVE The Tesla model approach because they are much simpler devices and can be recycled or repaired by less experienced "parts swappers" This model is one of the reasons the major manufacturers are headed toward electric cars. Once (and if) this happens, it will soon be impossible to find competent technicians to repair anything. It is sad but we are all headed this way. I am 50 years old so maybe I won't live long enough to see it or will be too old to really care by that time

Short term (say 10 or 15 years) I think the LC will be loved and supported.
