In my seemingly never-ending quest to upgrade my vibrating front end brake issue, I ordered some parts from a supplier. What I asked for were the Brembo blanks (#25488) and the Hawk Brake Pads (LTS or HPS either were okay). I received my package today. Now for the rotors, I cannot find anything that lists a #25488 part number, the only thing I can find is an Alltrom sticker with 094-2486. From an internet search, this appears to be an auto importer outfit. I clicked through their website with my model and the part matches up. The box says made in Italy and I have pin# but no other evidence of part numbers, only a stamped "75" on the rotor itself. How do I know this will work for sure and that this is in fact the #25488 I was looking for? The other issue is with the brake pads. I gave the supplier the part number for the HPS Hawk pads for my vehicle, he said they couldn't get that but had the LTS. I received the Hawk LTS pads (I'm fine with LTS) with the following part number...#HB315Y.669. I did a quick search and found that this will fit the '97 Tacoma and other model years of the 4Runner but not the 1997. Does anyone know if I can use this or should I send it back?

 

pads should fit.

As for the rotor, you can do some measuring
Stock rotors if you have a 16" wheel or luxury ed are supposed to be 318.5x21.8mm
The other rotors for the 4runner are supposed to be 296.8x21.7mm

 

Thanks for the reply Midnight. What got me concerned was that as I was searching for numbers for the Hawk pads from the Hawk website, I kept getting HB311F.591 as the part number for my vehicle. Once I received the HB315 pads, I started doubting things. I emailed Hawk directly and their response was that the pads I received are for the '02 Runner. I contacted the store where I purchased my items and they rechecked in the catalogue and came up with the HB315 again. Interestingly, several searches of other online retailers still pull up the HB315 pads. The only thing I can think of is that Hawk has updated the pads for this model of vehicle and no longer go by the HB315. I measured the rotor and the specs seem to fit.

 

Why not just try out the pads. There's all sorts of small things which makes them create new pt#'s for pads. There some 1300 pad shapes out there.
