front discs compatability (1 Viewer)

[snowwolfwarrior]

Hi.... Does any one know if the front discs on a VX 4.2 HDJ 80 series 1992-98 will fit the VX 4.5 1FZ 80 1996
Also has any one had warped discs? I think I have a warped disc as I can feel a slight judder on braking and when at lower speeds I can feel the brake pedal going up and down under my foot slightly, is it more likely to be the rear or the front?

It's more likely to be the front and many have had to replace warped rotors.

I agree with B. I had to replace my front rotors. Go ahead and replace them and don't turn them. I turned mine and it only lasted approximately 6,000 miles before they were just as bad as before i turned them. I put new one's on and they still are great.

On the rotor question, you should not need to ask us this question because you should be buying OEM rotors in order to, among other things, minimize warpage issues You should also be buying new OEM pads from the 100 series landcruiser/lexus 470 as a brake upgrade

That said, the rotor size changes in N/America between 92 and 93 models years when the 80s here went from 15 to 16" rims. The caliper mounting hole on the knuckle housing is also different so you can't swap the rotors back and forth without replacing the knuckle housing. I'm guessing you don't want to go there again!
