Disc Brake Rotor Sorted — With DBA!
> Disc brake rotors are absolutely crucial for your Toyota Celica, Prius, or Caldina's braking performance. They wear down over time, especially with all that stop-start driving in a Prius or the heavy loads in a Caldina wagon. If they're warped or worn, your braking just won't be up to scratch, and that's not safe, mate.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing or grinding when you hit the brakes
• Feeling a wobble through the brake pedal
• Taking ages to stop
• Rotors look scored or rooted
Will it pass WOF?
Worn or damaged disc brake rotors are a common cause for WOF failures here in NZ. They've gotta be above minimum thickness and not too badly damaged to pass the test.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and stands, lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, caliper tool (optional)
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you crack into this job, let's make sure you're all set. Safety first, always! Grab yourself some safety glasses to keep that brake dust out of your peepers. Those nitrile gloves will keep your hands clean too – brake dust is minging! And definitely grab a can of brake cleaner – give everything a good blast to get rid of any carbon dust buildup. A little squirt of anti-seize caliper grease will stop things binding up too.
Expert Recommendation
Worn brake rotors can seriously mess with your Toyota Celica, Prius, or Caldina's safety. Replacing them makes sure your brakes are spot-on and keeps you WOF compliant. DBA rotors are a great choice, but CARFIX has heaps of options to fit your budget and driving style. Bob @ CARFIX is always keen to help you find the perfect part for your Toyota.

Fitment Notes
Double-check they fit your exact model and year. Celicas, Priuses, and Caldinas can have different rotor sizes. Always do both sides of the axle at the same time for even braking.

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from grease and dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use Brake Cleaner to clean the anti-corrosion shipping oil off the new rotors before mounting the calipers.
• Lubrication: Apply caliper grease to caliper slide pins and pad contact points to prevent squealing.
