15" rotors?? that's a GTR not a Yaris!!!

The correct sizes are what andries just posted. Yes the rotors and break pads are a little larger than the ones in the regular 1.5 Yaris. The TS brakes better... for sure... but I can tell you how much of that actually came from the larger brakes or for the fact that we have rear discs. Or the ABS/EBD system.

The TS is an Euro model and somewhat rare... so getting TS brakes would be kind of hard. Getting them from the dealer? Probably cheaper to get one of the BBK out there.

It does says 15" discs... but that is a mistake for sure... The TS discs are just slightly larger... perhaps 10-15mm larger...
