Toyota MR2 Message Board - View Single Post - Rear brakes 85-86 vs 87-89 Mark 1's

I'm looking at the 85-86 series rear brake and comparing them to my 87-89 series here on the work bench?

I'm being told by a Hollander Parts inquiry that these are different with different part number identification?

They look amazingly identical, both series appear to share the same center to center measurement of the slider pins, same pin diameter, the emergency brake equipment are the same, the openings for the pads identicle.

What the hell is going on here?

Here look at 'em..

Is this a Toyota Illusion or just another manufacturers way of bilking the buying public.?
