well i have seen some lexus es330 with dual piston, but have yet to get ahold of one, they look very similar to ours, but have to look for a cheap one, as its trial an error.

Learned a lot in 10 years...I hardly log in anymore, last loginToday Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOLIf you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in2grfe Swapped...Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.@llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore.

when you get a hold of it, bolt it on and measure the distance from the hub to the center line of the caliper( there is usually a cast line right on the center of it ), then add 1/2 of the disc brake thickness to that number ( ES300 disc ) and you'll get the height needed for the caliper to work with no modification, if the number is higher than 56 mm you'll need to grind some from the inner side of the caliper bracket to bring it to or around 56.

any disc with an offset higher than 56 mm will touch the ball joint during hard cornering. that's why I use a 3 mm spacer on my cadillac catera disc ( 58.2 mm height )

good luck and hopefully you find that caliper for dirt cheap.
