Hello,
I read a while ago, and for the life of me cannot find it again that the brake pads for a 100 series cruiser will fit directly into the 80 series manufactured after a certain date.
I am looking to replace my pads soon however as the 100 series are a bigger pad (apparently they are an eliptical shape) I would rather put them in as it should return better braking.
Can anyone enlighten me as to whether this is fact or fiction. I am not looking to do any modifications to the brakes to do it and if it is not 100% I will stick to the smaller 80 series pads.
All advice appreciated.
Cheers

I am only talking front, i dont know about rear.
If your 80 is post 95' there should be no worries, even before that maybe ok but 95/96 is when upgraded brakes were done so that may make a difference.
Mine was a 96' build 97' compliance and the pads fit perfectly, no grinding or any modifications except for leaving the anti squeal plates out. They are a different shape and have more contact area on the rotor.
A 15 min job each side.

Looking on the Toyota computer yesterday there is no difference in brake pads from 1989 to 1998 so I would assume they will fit straight in.. having said that the callipers etc might be different...
I might have to take a pair
home and try them out..
Again though it may be that the 105 series pads are slightly different to the 100's.
looks like it might have possibilities... My 80 is built in 10/92 so I will have to
check things out a little better though.
Cheers

Might be worth double checking.... I was under the impression the update model at the beginning of 94 has larger discs and pads, hence the need for the 16" rims.
Models prior to 94 can run 15" rims because they have a smaller brake setup. I found this when I went to buy a set of tyres and rims off a '91 80series.
Mine is 6/94, and they wouldnt fit.
