terawua Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 I have discs off the car.. could weigh them on say monday for you...... (am working nights at the moment - cant be bothered to go home in the interim) I can weigh the calipers hanging on the brake lines if thats okay for you.. again.. monday or tuesday for that.....

terawua Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 are you working out some suspension settings and working out the unsprung weight or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate that would be a big help Are the brakes UK spec? Will you be able to weigh front and rear? Will the callipers include the brake pads (ideally I need weight without pads but with pads will do)? Sourced some brakes for a mate and just trying to work out postage rate from here.

Jake Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 are you working out some suspension settings and working out the unsprung weight or something? Doc, More likely he's working out carriage costs. Nic, I've got a full set of rear brakes in my garage and I can confirm that they weigh "a fucking ton" according to the guy that delivered them. I'll get you a more exact figure in the morning if nobody else has sorted you out by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terawua Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 oh right... DUH (re postage) yes I can weigh without pads - pop the pads out in about 30 secs.. and yes they are UK spec. - remind me to do this.. my brain will be mush by then....

terawua Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 nic.. can do this tonight also... just need to swipe the bathroom scales from under the parental nose.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 7, 2005 Author Share Posted April 7, 2005 Cheers guys much appreciated. If possible could you weigh the callipers, discs and pads separately. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 UK Spec rear disk (brand new in box) 6.8 kg UK Spec rear caliper (BNIB) 2.7 kg This closely ties up with what the shipping stickers on the boxes from Elmhurst Toyota say : 15lbs for each disk, 6.0lbs for each caliper.

weinelm Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 A pair of J spec front calipers and pads cost me £12 to post via Parcel Force last year, if thats any help. That didn't include discs. I'd add at least that again for the discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terawua Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Hmm.... front disc 8.8kg rear disc 5.9kg, cant get calipers off at the moment as I cant find torque wrency to put them back on again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weinelm Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Nic's in Hong Kong though Ah yes! So my post was no help at all! £12 to post the wrong type of brakes to the wrong country! Looking at the parcel force website, this means a J spec callipers must weigh something less than 5Kg each. Not UK spec I know, but they can't be that different??
