Nic Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Stock stock stock, or a known maker.......why risk it?? there not cheap are they. I'd say they are too cheap for 2 piece discs, decent branded ones such as Endless or Project Mu are £400+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyC Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Could anyone point me anywhere I can get some stock pads (front and rear) pretty quickly for my N/A import. My brakes are grinding and I cant get a service until next Saturday - and I need the car for work. Toyota wold be 3 days and expensiveI know Kwik Fit is not everyones idea of ecstacy, but wo. uld they be able to fix me if I just turned up - even for short term. Also, I spoke to Hypertek today who I think I'm going to take my car to for service. They asked what size pads I needed. I've no idea but apparently there are diferent sizes [sAD][/sAD] and I've no idea how to find out. Could they just be confusing the 4 pot and the 2 pot. I presume mine are 2 pot on the front. Push comes to shove and I will order from here in the short term and try and fit them myself. http://www.brakepartssuperstore.org.uk/contents/en-uk/d11851.html http://www.brakepartssuperstore.org.uk/contents/en-uk/d11850.html Can anyone confirm the above would be suitable or link me to somewhere I can get some quickly. Short term fix until I can get some Chris Wilsons hopefully Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Which brakes do you have fitted, the smaller 2pot/1pot or the larger 4pot/2pot? I've got TRD brake pads in stock to fit both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Yeah only going to trial them to see if they are any good... Will report back when i get them.. it might be too late to report back when they crack and warp when your slamming the anchors on from 100+ mph dont take the risk. Stick to stock discs or another proven make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyC Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Which brakes do you have fitted, the smaller 2pot/1pot or the larger 4pot/2pot? I've got TRD brake pads in stock to fit both. http://trdparts.jp/english/image2/p_brakepad-jzs160.jpg I'm presuming its the 2/1 Nic. Although I couldnt tell really. I was under the impression that the N/A used the 2/1 as a standard. I certainly haven't changed them. I could check tomorrow though, presumably by taking the wheel off - or can you tell without that. I've got nothing to compare it to. Problem with the TRD is that with you being in Hong Kong, and them grinding already, I really need a quick fix - as in tomorrow if I can, as I still have to use it to get to work and back. How long does it normally take for your stuff to come over? As an aside Nic, is there a "compatible with the Supra" list of consumables anywhere on the site for stuff like this. I've been looking at Filters etc but apart from OEM which I presume you have to get through Toyota (at their prices) then its quite difficult to find alternatives.

Guest brad26-supra Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 yeah ive got them on my n/a, they work amazingly with a set of all round mintex pads and braided hoses. i stopped from 145 to a halt in 200yds with them. i measured it before i got to a roundabout. highly recommended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 They are well know to be made of butter. It's the sort of thing you'd fit to a Saxo that doesn't have any performance, but for gods sake do not fit to a TT supra. It's utter madness fitting shit like this on any performance car. Do you know how much a "proper" floating disc costs? There is a bloody good reason these ones are so cheap... Honestly Richard I wouldn't have expected a chap like yourself to consider buying rubish like this. Edit: Sorry to be harsh, but stuff like this really ticks me off, brakes and tyres are the perhaps the most important items you ever fit on a car, the choice in parts can be the difference between life and death.

bignum Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I know a chappy thats recently fitted a set, ok so far, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 (edited) Honestly Richard I wouldn't have expected a chap like yourself to consider buying rubish like this. Dont worry i am not fitting to my car or anyone elses , you have PM I should of said this in the first instance lol Edited September 5, 2008 by ManwithSupra (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
