While I cannot answer your question directly, I can provide the following info:

There are two rotors used (that I know of) on the ZE Corolla:
1. ~10 inch rotor
2. ~ 11 inch rotor

Only the US Corolla and the 2ZZ-GE Corolla comes with the 11 inch rotor. (I think)

So do yourself a favour and measure your rotor diameter and thickness, and compare it to the one that youre getting.

EDIT: 26-11-11

As can be seen below, the older ZE Corollas come with thinner rotors (same as the 1.6 AE111). I highly recommend upgrading to thicker rotors (preferably a quality pair of cross drilled and/or slotted) and associated calipers.

Engine / Chassis/ Year / Bolt holes / Diameter/ Height / Thickness [New/Min (mm)]
1.4 (ZZE111) 99-2002 4 255 48 22/20
1.4 (ZZE120) 2002-up 4 255 49 25/23
1.6 (ZZE112) 99-2002 4 255 48 22/20
1.6 (ZZE121) 2002-up 4 255 49 25/23
1.8 (ZZE123) 2002-06 4 275 49 25/23

JDM's carry a bigger rotor (thickness) . Listen to Big Z however take your old rotor with you.

Japanese or Singapore it doesnt matter, it will work. i had the same changed in mine a few years ago. i got the original rotors machined as well and gave them to a pal and he had no complaints..
