Really good on the road and track. If however you have your reasons for changing discs and calipers outwith the OEM kit, it is highly advisable to change the front and rear so that you maintain as near the factory brake balance as is possible.(keeps your handbrake) is used upgrade and no one has died from the car swapping ends under braking. There is also the wms kit that fits under the stock wheels and bigger if you want bigger discs.raptor95GTS wrote:very few people upgrade the brakes beyond pads as very few people see the point in changing the original brilliant design that Toyota used from oo the 1980's?
The Nissan 200 calipers with either 315mm lexus or 325mm supra discs on the front and the rx8 323mm front disc fitted to the rear using the stock rear caliper
Just as long as the brake bias and balance is correctly set then yes you can most certainly improve braking by a decent percent. I'd just worry about people who don't and make an already tail happy car even worse under heavy braking. Draven wrote:I'd say standard disks and calipers with carbotech pads.
Awesome pads, the Carbotechs! RedMR² wrote:Draven wrote:I'd say standard disks and calipers with carbotech pads.
That's the set up I have on mine.
rev2/3/4/5 calipers + discs and carbotech pads, stopping powers amazing, I got mine from Curt Andrews Motorsports in the us, his shop it right next to carbotech .. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Legends-Race-Ca ... 3e&vxp=mtr .. cost me $130 odd iirr a set plus postage a taxes , still worked out much cheaper than buying from the uk. We use yellow stuff front and rear with racing brake fluid and aftermarket hoses. Total price about 170 quid, brakes will not fade one bit and have terrific power on our local track. Just my opinion. I only upgrade if it really makes a difference in the real world. Non abs setup seems to have more feel and initial bite. Real enemy is seized pistons and sliders.

Oem? Or pattern parts?
